Name        : perl-Crypt-PBKDF2
Product     : Fedora 21
Version     : 0.142390
Release     : 1.fc21
URL         : http://search.cpan.org/dist/Crypt-PBKDF2/
Summary     : PBKDF2 password hashing algorithm
Description :
PBKDF2 is a secure password hashing algorithm that uses the techniques of
"key strengthening" to make the complexity of a brute-force attack
arbitrarily high. PBKDF2 uses any other cryptographic hash or cipher (by
convention, usually HMAC-SHA1, but Crypt::PBKDF2 is fully pluggable), and
allows for an arbitrary number of iterations of the hashing function, and a
nearly unlimited output hash size (up to 2**32 - 1 times the size of the
output of the back-end hash). The hash is salted, as any password hash
should be, and the salt may also be of arbitrary size.

Update Information:

Added option for password length limit, add HMACSHA3 hasher
