Crypt::Rijndael - Crypt::CBC compliant Rijndael encryption module
use Crypt::Rijndael; # keysize() is 32, but 24 and 16 are also possible # blocksize() is 16 $cipher = Crypt::Rijndael->new( "a" x 32, Crypt::Rijndael::MODE_CBC() ); $cipher->set_iv($iv); $crypted = $cipher->encrypt($plaintext); # - OR - $plaintext = $cipher->decrypt($crypted);
This module implements the Rijndael cipher, which has just been selected as the Advanced Encryption Standard.
Returns the keysize, which is 32 (bytes). The Rijndael cipher actually supports keylengths of 16, 24 or 32 bytes, but there is no way to communicate this to Crypt::CBC.
Crypt::CBC
The blocksize for Rijndael is 16 bytes (128 bits), although the algorithm actually supports any blocksize that is any multiple of our bytes. 128 bits, is however, the AES-specified block size, so this is all we support.
Create a new Crypt::Rijndael cipher object with the given key (which must be 128, 192 or 256 bits long). The additional $mode argument is the encryption mode, either MODE_ECB (electronic codebook mode, the default), MODE_CBC (cipher block chaining, the same that Crypt::CBC does), MODE_CFB (128-bit cipher feedback), MODE_OFB (128-bit output feedback), or MODE_CTR (counter mode).

MODE_CTR
ECB mode is very insecure (read a book on cryptography if you don't know why!), so you should probably use CBC mode.
This allows you to change the initial value vector used by the chaining modes. It is not relevant for ECB mode.
Encrypt data. The size of $data must be a multiple of blocksize (16 bytes), otherwise this function will croak. Apart from that, it can be of (almost) any length.
$data
blocksize
Decrypts $data.
Use these constants to select the cipher type:
