POG is a Ruby gem for simplifying random password generation, password
strength testing, password hashing and salting, and password-hash
authentication.

This is my first public gem, so any and all suggestions and comments
would be greatly appreciated.

==============
Quick Overview

The Password class encapsulates a password and provides functionality
for
hashing and hash-based authentication.

The RandomStringGenerator class provides the functionality to generate
random
Strings. It could be called RandomPasswordGenerator.

The Salt class encapsulates a password’s salt and provides functionality
for
password salting and random salt generation.

The PasswordTests class provides functionality for rule-based testing
strength
of passwords.

===============

girlfriend – it’s cold, unforgiving, and doesn’t tell you what you’ve
done wrong.”
