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.
