3Authen::DecHpwd - DEC VMS password hashing

5DESCRIPTION
6
7This module implements the SYS$HASH_PASSWORD password hashing function
8from VMS (also known as LGI$HPWD), and some associated VMS username and
9password handling functions.
10
11The password hashing function is implemented in XS, with a hideously
12slow pure Perl backup version for systems that can't handle XS.

21AUTHOR
22
23The original C implementation of LGI$HPWD was written by Shawn Clifford.
24The code has since been developed by Davide Casale, Mario Ambrogetti,
25Terence Lee, Jean-loup Gailly, Solar Designer, and Andrew Main (Zefram).
26
27Mike McCauley <mikem@open.com.au> created the first version of
28"Authen::DecHpwd", establishing the Perl interface. This was based on
29Shawn Clifford's code without the later developments.
30
31Andrew Main (Zefram) <zefram@fysh.org> created a new "Authen::DecHpwd"
32based on the more developed C code presently used, and added ancillary
33functions.
