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. + +WWW: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Authen-Passphrase/ |
