Description: Perl interface to the SHA-1 algorithm
|
|
The Digest::SHA1 module allows you to use the NIST SHA-1 message digest
|
|
algorithm from within Perl programs. The algorithm takes as input a message
|
|
of arbitrary length and produces as output a 160-bit "fingerprint" or
|
|
"message digest" of the input.
|
|
.
|
|
In 2005, security flaws were identified in SHA-1, namely that a possible
|
|
mathematical weakness might exist, indicating that a stronger hash function
|
|
would be desirable. The Digest::SHA module implements the stronger algorithms
|
|
in the SHA family.
|
|
.
|
|
The Digest::SHA1 module provide a procedural interface for simple use, as
|
|
well as an object oriented interface that can handle messages of arbitrary
|
|
length and which can read files directly.
