class

Hash utility class. Contains methods to calculate hashes and compare them in a safe way preventing timing attacks.

class Hash {

	/**
	 * Uses PHP's hashing functions to calculate a hash over the data provided, using the options
	 * specified. The default hash algorithm is SHA-512.
	 *
	 * Examples:
	 * ```
	 * // Calculates a secure hash over string `'foo'`.
	 * Hash::calculate('foo');
	 *
	 * // It is possible to hash non-scalar data, too.
	 * Hash::calculate(['foo' => 'bar']);             // serializes before hashing
	 * Hash::calculate(new Foo());                    // -- " --
	 * Hash::calculate(function() { return 'bar'; }); // uses `spl_object_hash()`
	 *
	 * // Also allows for quick - non secure - hashing of arbitrary data.
	 * Hash::calculate(['foo' => 'bar'], ['type' => 'crc32b']);
	 * ```

	 * @link http://php.net/hash_algos
	 * @param mixed $data The arbitrary data to hash. Non-scalar data will be serialized, before
	 *        being hashed. For anonymous functions the object hash will be used.
	 * @param array $options Supported options:
	 *        - `'type'` _string_: Any valid hashing algorithm. See the `hash_algos()` function to
	 *          determine which are available on your system.
	 *        - `'salt'` _string_: A _salt_ value which, if specified, will be prepended to the
	 *          data.
	 *        - `'key'` _string_: If specified generates a keyed hash using `hash_hmac()`
	 *          instead of `hash()`, with `'key'` being used as the message key.
	 *        - `'raw'` _boolean_: If `true`, outputs the raw binary result of the hash operation.
	 *          Defaults to `false`.
	 * @return string Returns a hash calculated over given data.

	 * Compares two hashes in constant time to prevent timing attacks.

	 * To successfully mitigate timing attacks and not leak the actual length of the known
	 * hash, it is important that _both provided hash strings  have the same length_ and that
	 * the _user-supplied hash string is passed as a second parameter_ rather than first.
	 *
	 * An E_USER_WARNING will be emitted when either of the supplied parameters is not a string.

	 * @param string $user The user-supplied hash string.
	 * @return boolean Returns a boolean indicating whether the two hash strings are equal.
