NAME

Crypt::AES::CTR - This is a port of Chris Veness' AES implementation.

VERSION

Version 0.03

SYNOPSIS

This module encrypts and decrypts AES strings using CTR and Chris Veness' AES implementation. It is compatible with PHP encrypting and decrypting.

    use Crypt::AES::CTR;
    
    my $plaintext 'string';
    my $ciphertext = Crypt::AES::CTR::encrypt($plaintext,'password',256);
    $plaintext = Crypt::AES::CTR::decrypt($ciphertext,'password',256);

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

encrypt($plaintext, $key, $nbits)

 Encrypt a text using AES encryption in Counter mode of operation
 
 Unicode multi-byte character safe
 
 $plaintext - plaintext Source text to be encrypted
 $key - The password to use to generate a key
 $nbits - Number of bits to be used in the key (128, 192, or 256)
 
 returns encrypted text string

decrypt($ciphertext, $key, $nbits)

 Decrypt a text encrypted by AES in counter mode of operation
 
 $ciphertext - Source text to be decrypted
 $key - The password to use to generate a key
 $nbits - Number of bits to be used in the key (128, 192, or 256)
 
 returns decrypted text

aes_padding($padding)

 Override default padding(\n) for base64 encodes

OO-INTERFACE

new

  my $crypt = Crypt::AES::CTR->new( key=>$key, nbits=>$nbits , padding => $padding  );

 #Unicode multi-byte character safe
 
 #$key - The password to use to generate a key
 #$nbits - Number of bits to be used in the key (128, 192, or 256)
 #$padding - What to use as padding for base64 encodes, default is \n (optional)
 
 #returns blessed reference
 
 $crypt->encrypt($plaintext); # use cached $key and $nbits from new declaration
 $crypt->encrypt($plaintext, $key, $nbits); #override $key and $nbits

 # see documentation above for encrypt function
 
 $crypt->decrypt($plaintext); # use cached $key and $nbits from new declaration
 $crypt->decrypt($plaintext, $key, $nbits); #override $key and $nbits

 # see documentation above for decrypt function
