Crypt::Password::StretchedHash - simple library for password hashing and stretching

SYNOPSIS

This module provides Generation / Verification method for hashed password string. There are two methods to handle parameters simply.

    use Crypt::Password::StretchedHash qw(
        crypt
        verify
    );
    use Digest::SHA;

    # crypt
    my $pwhash = crypt(
        password        => q{password},
        hash            => Digest::SHA->new("sha256"),
        salt            => q{salt},
        stretch_count   => 5000,
        format          => q{base64},
    );

    # verify
    my $result = verify(
        password        => q{password},
        password_hash   => q{4hvvzqZio+l9vGifQ7xF2+FKiyWRcb4lV3OSo9PsfUw=},
        hash            => Digest::SHA->new("sha256"),
        salt            => q{salt},
        stretch_count   => 5000,
        format          => q{base64},
    );

if you use class of the hash information(Crypt::Passwoed::SaltedHash::HashInfo), there are two methods to generate/verify string for DB Store.

    use Your::Password::HashInfo;
    use Crypt::Password::StretchedHash qw(
        crypt_with_hashinfo
        verify_with_hashinfo
    );
    
    my $hash_info = Your::Password::HashInfo->new;
    # crypt
    my $password = ...;
    my $pwhash_with_hashinfo = crypt_with_hashinfo(
        password    => $password,
        hash_info   => $hash_info,
    );
    
    # verify
    my $password = ...;
    my $pwhash_with_hashinfo = ...;
    my $result = verify_with_hashinfo(
        password        => $password,
        password_hash   => $pwhash_with_hashinfo,
        hash_info   => $hash_info,
    );

DESCRIPTION

Crypt::Password::StretchedHash is simple library for password hashing and stretching. This module is available in generation and validation of the stretched password hash.

METHODS

crypt( %params ) : String

Generates stretched password hash. This uses the following hash algorithm.

    for (1..$params{stretch_count}) {
        $hash->add( $pwhash, $params{password}, $salt );
        $pwhash = $hash->digest;
    }


=item $params{password}

This is password string.

$params{hash}


This is a hash function.
This value must be the object of Digest::SHA or Digest::SHA3.

$params{salt}


This is salt string.

$params{stretch_count}

This is stretching count. The value will depend on a kind of hash function and the server load.

$params{format}

This value is optional. If it has none, the password hash is returned with a binary string. If it has ``hex'', the password hash is returned with hexadecimal representation. If it has ``base64'', the password hash is returned with base64 representation.

verify( %params ) : Int

Verifies stretched password hash. This compares the value of $params{password_hash} with the generated using crypt method.

crypt_with_hashinfo( %params ) : String

Generates stretched password hash with hash information.

$params{password}

This is password string.

$params{hash_info}


This is a hash information.
You have to inherit L<Crypt::Password::StretchedHash::HashInfo>.

verify_with_hashinfo( %params ) : Int

Verifies stretched password hash with hash information. This compares the value of $params{password_hash} with the generated using crypt method.

$params{password}

This is password string.

$params{password_hash}

This is hashed password to be compared.

$params{hash_info}


This is a hash information.
You have to inherit L<Crypt::Password::StretchedHash::HashInfo>.
