NAME

Crypt::Digest::CHAES - Hash function - CipherHash based on AES [size: 128 bits]

SYNOPSIS

   ### Functional interface:
   use Crypt::Digest::CHAES qw( chaes chaes_hex chaes_base64 chaes_file chaes_file_hex chaes_file_base64 );

   # calculate digest from string/buffer
   $chaes_raw = chaes('data string');
   $chaes_hex = chaes_hex('data string');
   $chaes_b64 = chaes_base64('data string');
   # calculate digest from file
   $chaes_raw = chaes_file('filename.dat');
   $chaes_hex = chaes_file_hex('filename.dat');
   $chaes_b64 = chaes_file_base64('filename.dat');
   # calculate digest from filehandle
   $chaes_raw = chaes_file(*FILEHANDLE);
   $chaes_hex = chaes_file_hex(*FILEHANDLE);
   $chaes_b64 = chaes_file_base64(*FILEHANDLE);

   ### OO interface:
   use Crypt::Digest::CHAES;

   $d = Crypt::Digest::CHAES->new;
   $d->add('any data');
   $d->addfile('filename.dat');
   $d->addfile(*FILEHANDLE);
   $result_raw = $d->digest;    # raw bytes
   $result_hex = $d->hexdigest; # hexadecimal form
   $result_b64 = $d->b64digest; # Base64 form

DESCRIPTION

Provides an interface to the CHAES digest algorithm.

EXPORT

Nothing is exported by default.

You can export selected functions:

  use Crypt::Digest::CHAES qw(chaes chaes_hex chaes_base64 chaes_file chaes_file_hex chaes_file_base64);

Or all of them at once:

  use Crypt::Digest::CHAES ':all';

FUNCTIONS

chaes

Logically joins all arguments into a single string, and returns its CHAES digest encoded as a binary string.

 $chaes_raw = chaes('data string');
 #or
 $chaes_raw = chaes('any data', 'more data', 'even more data');

chaes_hex

Logically joins all arguments into a single string, and returns its CHAES digest encoded as a hexadecimal string.

 $chaes_hex = chaes_hex('data string');
 #or
 $chaes_hex = chaes('any data', 'more data', 'even more data');

chaes_base64

Logically joins all arguments into a single string, and returns its CHAES digest encoded as a Base64 string, with trailing '=' padding.

 $chaes_base64 = chaes_base64('data string');
 #or
 $chaes_base64 = chaes('any data', 'more data', 'even more data');

chaes_file

Reads file (defined by filename or filehandle) content, and returns its CHAES digest encoded as a binary string.

 $chaes_raw = chaes_file('filename.dat');
 #or
 $chaes_raw = chaes_file(*FILEHANDLE);

chaes_file_hex

Reads file (defined by filename or filehandle) content, and returns its CHAES digest encoded as a hexadecimal string.

 $chaes_hex = chaes_file_hex('filename.dat');
 #or
 $chaes_hex = chaes_file_hex(*FILEHANDLE);

BEWARE: You have to make sure that the filehandle is in binary mode before you pass it as argument to the addfile() method.

chaes_file_base64

Reads file (defined by filename or filehandle) content, and returns its CHAES digest encoded as a Base64 string, with trailing '=' padding.

 $chaes_base64 = chaes_file_base64('filename.dat');
 #or
 $chaes_base64 = chaes_file_base64(*FILEHANDLE);

addfile

 $d->addfile('filename.dat');
 #or
 $d->addfile(*FILEHANDLE);

add_bits

 $d->addfile('filename.dat');
 #or
 $d->addfile(*FILEHANDLE);

hashsize

 $d->hashsize;
 #or
