NAMEDigest::SV1 - Cryptosleazically strong message digest formatSYNOPSIS$sv1 = Digest::SV1->new(); $sv1->add( $data, ... ); $sv1->addfile( $io_handle ); $sv1->digest $sv1->hexdigest $sv1->b64digest DESCRIPTIONSo, you chose a hashing algorithm as recommended by the leading security experts of yesteryear, it got hacked, and now some mysterious 15 year old cracker 0wns your toaster because of it.Fight back! This hash algorithm is designed to infuriate the Mathematicians and Cryptographers out there, who will swear us lowly software engineers are missing the point of all this digest stuff. Put simply, if one hashing algorithm won't do the job satisfactorily, then why not use several. The main algorithm in this module forms the authorative definition of how the SV1 digest format is to operate. See Digest for a detailed description of the Digest API. Warning: some of the constructed and artificial mathematical formulae may have some kind of constructed and artificial legislation, documentation, papers, et cetera that some group of people acting as a constructed and artificial construct known as a `legal person' that exploited the person who came up with the idea might maintain has some kind of constructed and artificial power to restrict your freedom as recognised by some constructed and artificial social structure. You are strongly advised to just not give a smeg. FAQ
