  5. --DESCRIPTION--
  6. <p>
  7. This directive enables secure checksum generation along with %URI.Munge.
  8. It should be set to a secure key that is not shared with anyone else.
  9. The checksum can be placed in the URI using %t. Use of this checksum
  10. affords an additional level of protection by allowing a redirector
  11. to check if a URI has passed through HTML Purifier with this line:
  12. </p>
  13. <pre>$checksum === sha1($secret_key . ':' . $url)</pre>
  14. <p>
  15. If the output is TRUE, the redirector script should accept the URI.
  16. </p>
  17. <p>
  18. Please note that it would still be possible for an attacker to procure
  19. secure hashes en-mass by abusing your website's Preview feature or the
  20. like, but this service affords an additional level of protection
  21. that should be combined with website blacklisting.
  22. </p>
  23. <p>
  24. Remember this has no effect if %URI.Munge is not on.
