Digest::MD2 - Perl interface to the MD2 Algorithm
SYNOPSIS
# Functional style
use Digest::MD2 qw(md2 md2_hex md2_base64);
$digest = md2($data);
$digest = md2_hex($data);
$digest = md2_base64($data);
# OO style
use Digest::MD2;
$ctx = Digest::MD2->new;
$ctx->add($data);
$ctx->addfile(*FILE);
$digest = $ctx->digest;
$digest = $ctx->hexdigest;
$digest = $ctx->b64digest;
DESCRIPTION
The "Digest::MD2" module allows you to use the RSA Data Security Inc. MD2 Message Digest algorithm from within Perl programs. The
algorithm takes as input a message of arbitrary length and produces as output a 128-bit "fingerprint" or "message digest" of the input.
The "Digest::MD2" programming interface is identical to the interface of "Digest::MD5".

Digest::HMAC - Keyed-Hashing for Message Authentication
SYNOPSIS
# Functional style
use Digest::HMAC qw(hmac hmac_hex);
$digest = hmac($data, $key, &myhash);
print hmac_hex($data, $key, &myhash);
# OO style
use Digest::HMAC;
$hmac = Digest::HMAC->new($key, "Digest::MyHash");
$hmac->add($data);
$hmac->addfile(*FILE);
$digest = $hmac->digest;
$digest = $hmac->hexdigest;
$digest = $hmac->b64digest;
DESCRIPTION
HMAC is used for message integrity checks between two parties that share a secret key, and works in combination with some other Digest
algorithm, usually MD5 or SHA-1. The HMAC mechanism is described in RFC 2104.
HMAC follow the common "Digest::" interface, but the constructor takes the secret key and the name of some other simple "Digest::" as
argument.
The hmac() and hmac_hex() functions and the Digest::HMAC->new() constructor takes an optional $blocksize argument as well. The HMAC
algorithm assumes the digester to hash by iterating a basic compression function on blocks of data and the $blocksize should match the
byte-length of such blocks.
The default $blocksize is 64 which is suitable for the MD5 and SHA-1 digest functions. For stronger algorithms the blocksize probably
needs to be increased.
