         }

DESCRIPTION

ACCEPTED ARGUMENTS

   format
       The encoding to use for the digest. Valid values are 'binary', 'hex', and 'base64'. Will
       default to 'base64' if not specified.

   algorithm
       The digest algorithm to use for the digest. You may specify any valid Digest algorithm.
       Examples are MD5, SHA-1, Whirlpool etc. Will default to 'SHA-256' if not specified.

       See Digest for supported digest algorithms.

   salt_length
       If you would like to use randomly generated salts to encode values make sure this option
       is set to > 0. Salts will be automatically generated at encode time and will be appended
       to the end of the digest. Please make sure that you remember to make sure that to expand
       the size of your db column to have enough space to store both the digest AND the salt.
       Please see list below for common digest lengths.

METHODS

   make_encode_sub $column_name, \%encode_args
       Returns a coderef that takes two arguments, a plaintext value and an optional salt and
       returns the encoded value with the salt appended to the end of the digest. If a salt is
       not provided and the salt_length option was greater than zero it will be randomly
       generated.

   make_check_sub $column_name, \%encode_args
       Returns a coderef that takes the row object and a plaintext value and will return a
       boolean if the plaintext matches the encoded value. This is typically used for password
       authentication.
