module ActiveSupport
  # +MessageVerifier+ makes it easy to generate and verify messages which are
  # signed to prevent tampering.
  #
  # This is useful for cases like remember-me tokens and auto-unsubscribe links
  # where the session store isn't suitable or available.
  #
  # Remember Me:
  #   cookies[:remember_me] = @verifier.generate([@user.id, 2.weeks.from_now])
  #
  # In the authentication filter:
  #
  #   id, time = @verifier.verify(cookies[:remember_me])
  #   if Time.now < time
  #     self.current_user = User.find(id)
  #   end
  #
  # By default it uses Marshal to serialize the message. If you want to use
  # another serialization method, you can set the serializer in the options
  # hash upon initialization:
  #
  #   @verifier = ActiveSupport::MessageVerifier.new('s3Krit', serializer: YAML)
  #
  # +MessageVerifier+ creates HMAC signatures using SHA1 hash algorithm by default.
  # If you want to use a different hash algorithm, you can change it by providing
  # `:digest` key as an option while initializing the verifier:
  #
  #   @verifier = ActiveSupport::MessageVerifier.new('s3Krit', digest: 'SHA256')
