DESCRIPTION

NAME

DBIx::Class::EncodedColumn::Crypt::PBKDF2 - PBKDF2 support for DBIx::Class::EncodedColumn

NAME

DBIx::Class::EncodedColumn::Crypt::PBKDF2

ARGUMENTS for encode_args - same as args for Crypt::PBKDF2-new>

hash_class

Type: String, Default: HMACSHA1

The name of the default class that will provide PBKDF2's Pseudo-Random Function (the backend hash). If the value starts with a +, the + will be removed and the remainder will be taken as a fully-qualified package name. Otherwise, the value will be appended to Crypt::PBKDF2::Hash::.

hash_args

Type: HashRef, Default: {}

Arguments to be passed to the hash_class constructor.

hasher

Type: Object (must fulfill role Crypt::PBKDF2::Hash), Default: None.

It is also possible to provide a hash object directly; in this case the hash_class and hash_args are ignored.

iterations

Type: Integer, Default: 1000.

The default number of iterations of the hashing function to use for the generate and PBKDF2 methods.

output_len

Type: Integer.

The default size (in bytes, not bits) of the output hash. If a value isn't provided, the output size depends on the hash_class / hasher selected, and will equal the output size of the backend hash (e.g. 20 bytes for HMACSHA1).

salt_len

Type: Integer, Default: 4

The default salt length (in bytes) for the generate method.

encoding

Type: String (either "crypt" or "ldap"), Default: "ldap"

The hash format to generate. The "ldap" format is intended to be compatible with RFC2307, and looks like:

    {X-PBKDF2}HMACSHA1:AAAD6A:8ODUPA==:1HSdSVVwlWSZhbPGO7GIZ4iUbrk=

While the "crypt" format is similar to the format used by the crypt() function, except with more structured information in the second (salt) field. It looks like:

    $PBKDF2$HMACSHA1:1000:4q9OTg==$9Pb6bCRgnct/dga+4v4Lyv8x31s=

Versions of this module up to 0.110461 generated the "crypt" format, so set that if you want it. Current versions of this module will read either format, but the "ldap" format is preferred.

length_limit

Type: Integer

The maximum password length to allow, for generate and verify functions. Allowing passwords of unlimited length can allow a denial-of-service attack in which an attacker asks the server to validate very large passwords.

For compatibility this attribute is unset by default, but it is recommended to set it to a reasonably small value like 100 -- large enough that users aren't discouraged from having secure passwords, but small enough to limit the computation needed to validate any one password.

METHODS

make_encode_sub($column_name, \%encode_args)

Returns a coderef that accepts a plaintext value and returns an encoded value.

make_check_sub($column_name, \%encode_args)

Returns a coderef that when given the row object and a plaintext value will return a boolean if the plaintext matches the encoded value. This is typically used for password authentication.
