This software calculates the SHA1 digest of a CGI form field through an algorithm that helps ensure data security. It can quickly and accurately generate a cryptographic hash value for input data, which can be useful for online data transmission and storage.
I recently used the Javascript::SHA1 Perl module to calculate the SHA1 digest of a CGI form field and I have to say, I was impressed with its functionality. The program itself is complete, runnable, and has been thoroughly tested.
The script is initiated with the following code:
```
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI;
use Javascript::SHA1;
```
Once the script is running, the user can input their desired password for SHA1 encryption. The CGI form field will accept the input and convert it into the SHA1 digest using the Javascript::SHA1 module. The module is easy to use and implements a new object of a class which performs the calculation.
This module also ensures that the password itself need never be transmitted across the network. Only the SHA1 digest is transmitted during transmission, providing more security for your applications.
Overall, I would highly recommend Javascript::SHA1 to anyone in need of a reliable and secure way to calculate SHA1 digests of their CGI form fields. The documentation is exhaustive and the code is well-written and easy to understand.
