Description : Authen::Passphrase from CPAN - module encapsulating hashed passwords/passphrases as objects
This is the base class for a system of objects that encapsulate passphrases.
An object of this type is a passphrase recogniser: its job is to recognise
whether an offered passphrase is the right one. For security, such passphrase
recognisers usually do not themselves know the passphrase they are looking for;
they can merely recognise it when they see it. There are many schemes in use to
achieve this effect, and the intent of this class is to provide a consistent
interface to them all, hiding the details.
The CPAN package Authen::Passphrase contains implementations of several
specific passphrase schemes in addition to the base class.
