The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Password::SaltSha
DSLIP: Rdpfp
description: Create and challenge salted password hashes
userid: DAVIDO (David J. Oswald)
chapterid: 14 (Security_and_Encryption)

rationale:
I got tired of re-implementing salting strategies for user login
passwords that will be hashed and stored. This module creates a
40-digit salt (60 possible randomly selected characters per digit),
and uses it to salt a user password. It then hashes it using
SHA2-256.
The resulting salt, and hashed password can be stored in a database
for user logins, greatly increasing security over simply hashing a
password by itself.
The namespace choice... well, Password::SaltSha is what it does; it
salts and SHA's passwords. It can be used to both generate and
challenge.
