Perl interface to functions that assist in working with salted hashes
The 'Crypt::SaltedHash' module provides an object oriented interface to
create salted (or seeded) hashes of clear text data. The original
formalization of this concept comes from RFC-3112 and is extended by the
use of different digital algorithms.
Paths come from the repository package-file index for the observed builds. They describe archive/package associations, not every file that will exist on a running system after maintainer scripts, alternatives, generated state, diversions, or installation choices.
Each row is recorded package-index metadata for one version, architecture, suite, and repository. Names, URLs, and sizes are source-reported; a link is a potentially mutable retrieval location, not an OpenFactory redistribution claim or proof that OpenFactory retained the artifact bytes.
Crypt::SaltedHash versions through 0.09 for Perl generate insecure random values for salts.
These versions use the built-in rand function, which is predictable and unsuitable for cryptography.
