In this tutorial we learn how to install perl-Crypt-PBKDF2 in Fedora 36. perl-Crypt-PBKDF2 is The PBKDF2 password hashing algorithm

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install perl-Crypt-PBKDF2 on Fedora 36.

What is `perl-Crypt-PBKDF2`

PBKDF2 is a secure password hashing algorithm that uses the techniques of “key strengthening” to make the complexity of a brute-force attack arbitrarily high. PBKDF2 uses any other cryptographic hash or cipher (by convention, usually HMAC-SHA1, but Crypt number of iterations of the hashing function, and a nearly unlimited output hash size (up to 2**32-1 times the size of the output of the backend hash). The hash is salted, as any password hash should be, and the salt may also be of arbitrary size.

We can use yum or dnf to install perl-Crypt-PBKDF2 on Fedora 36. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install perl-Crypt-PBKDF2.
