NAME

    Crypt::SaltedHash - Perl interface to functions that assist in working
    with salted hashes.

SYNOPSIS

            use Crypt::SaltedHash;
    
            my $csh = Crypt::SaltedHash->new(algorithm => 'SHA-1');
            $csh->add('secret');
    
            my $salted = $csh->generate;
            my $valid = Crypt::SaltedHash->validate($salted, 'secret');

STATUS

    This module is deprecated.

    This module has not had significant updates since 2006. There are newer
    modules that support more secure algorithms and hashing options, and
    are extensible, such as Crypt::Passphrase.

DESCRIPTION

    The Crypt::SaltedHash module provides an object oriented interface to
    create salted (or seeded) hashes of clear text data. The original
    formalization of this concept comes from RFC-3112 and is extended by
    the use of different digital algorithms.
