Description : Perl implementation of PBKDF2 password hash
PBKDF2 (part of the PKCS#5 standard) is a secure password hashing
algorithm that uses the techniques of "key strengthening" to make the
complexity of a brute-force attack arbitrarily high. This module supports
SHA-1 and SHA-2 as the underlying hash functions natively and can also use
arbitrary Digest-compatible classes. It allows for an arbitrary number
of iterations of the hashing function, and a nearly unlimited output hash
size (up to 2**32 - 1 times the size of the output of the backend hash).
The hash is salted, as any password hash should be, and the salt may also
be of arbitrary size.
