+  # The ActiveSupport::SecureCompareRotator is a wrapper around +ActiveSupport::SecurityUtils.secure_compare+
+  # and allows you to rotate a previously defined value to a new one.
+  #
+  # It can be used as follow:
+  #
+  #   rotator = ActiveSupport::SecureCompareRotator.new('new_production_value')
+  #   rotator.rotate('previous_production_value')
+  #   rotator.secure_compare!('previous_production_value')
+  #
+  # One real use case example would be to rotate a basic auth credentials:
+  #
+  #   class MyController < ApplicationController
+  #     def authenticate_request
+  #       rotator = ActiveSupport::SecureComparerotator.new('new_password')
+  #       rotator.rotate('old_password')
+  #
+  #       authenticate_or_request_with_http_basic do |username, password|
+  #         rotator.secure_compare!(password)
+  #       rescue ActiveSupport::SecureCompareRotator::InvalidMatch
+  #         false
+  #       end
+  #     end
+  #   end
