NAME

6       Authen::Passphrase::MySQL41 - passphrases using the MySQL v4.1
7       algorithm

SYNOPSIS

10               use Authen::Passphrase::MySQL41;

12               $ppr = Authen::Passphrase::MySQL41->new(
13                       hash_hex => "9CD12C48C4C5DD62914B".
14                                   "3FABB93131746E9E9115");
15
16               $ppr = Authen::Passphrase::MySQL41->new(
17                       passphrase => "passphrase");
18
19               $hash = $ppr->hash;
20               $hash_hex = $ppr->hash_hex;

DESCRIPTION

25       An object of this class encapsulates a passphrase hashed using the
26       algorithm used by MySQL from version 4.1.  This is a subclass of
27       Authen::Passphrase, and this document assumes that the reader is
28       familiar with the documentation for that class.
29
30       The MySQL v4.1 hash scheme is based on the SHA-1 digest algorithm.  The
31       passphrase is first hashed using SHA-1, then the output of that stage
32       is hashed using SHA-1 again.  The final hash is the output of the
33       second SHA-1.  No salt is used.
34
35       In MySQL the hash is represented as a "*" followed by 40 uppercase
36       hexadecimal digits.
37
38       The lack of salt is a weakness in this scheme.  Salted SHA-1 is a
39       better scheme; see Authen::Passphrase::SaltedDigest.

CONSTRUCTOR

42       Authen::Passphrase::MySQL41->new(ATTR => VALUE, ...)
43           Generates a new passphrase recogniser object using the MySQL v4.1
44           algorithm.  The following attributes may be given:
45
46           hash
47               The hash, as a string of 20 bytes.
48
49           hash_hex
50               The hash, as a string of 40 hexadecimal digits.
51
52           passphrase
53               A passphrase that will be accepted.
54
55           Either the hash or the passphrase must be given.
56

METHODS

58       $ppr->hash
59           Returns the hash value, as a string of 20 bytes.
60
61       $ppr->hash_hex
62           Returns the hash value, as a string of 40 uppercase hexadecimal
63           digits.
64
65       $ppr->match(PASSPHRASE)
66           This method is part of the standard Authen::Passphrase interface.
