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.

===============
Changes/Updates
===============
* Fixed Bug 12815 -- naive password generation
* DRYed up password generation (created new RandomStringGenerator class)
* Added WEP Key generation (Feature Request 12816)
* Fixed Bug 12487 -- samples from README throwing errors
* Added functionality to call tests with arbitrary parameters.
