Crypt::Misc - miscellaneous functions related to (or used by) CryptX
This module contains a collection of mostly unsorted functions loosely-related to CryptX distribution but not implementing cryptography.
Most of them are also available in other perl modules but once you utilize CryptX you might avoid dependencies on other modules by using functions from Crypt::Misc.
use Crypt::Misc ':all'; # Base64 and Base64/URL-safe functions $base64 = encode_b64($rawbytes); $rawbytes = decode_b64($base64); $base64url = encode_b64u($encode_b64u); $rawbytes = decode_b64u($base64url); # read/write file $rawdata = read_rawfile($filename); write_rawfile($filename, $rawdata); # convert PEM/DER $der_data = pem_to_der($pem_data); $pem_data = der_to_pem($der_data); # others die "mismatch" unless slow_eq($str1, $str2);
By default, Crypt::Misc doesn't import any function. You can import individual functions like this:
use Crypt::Misc qw(read_rawfile);
Or import all available functions:
use Crypt::Misc ':all';

$rawdata = read_rawfile($filename);
Read file $filename into a scalar as a binary data (without decoding/transformation).
$filename
write_rawfile($filename, $rawdata);
Write $rawdata to file $filename as binary data.
$rawdata
if (slow_eq($data1, $data2)) { ... }
Constant time compare (to avoid timing side-channel).
$der_data = pem_to_der($pem_data); #or $der_data = pem_to_der($pem_data, $password);
Convert PEM to DER representation. Supports also password protected PEM data.
$pem_data = der_to_pem($der_data, $header_name); #or $pem_data = der_to_pem($der_data, $header_name, $password); #or $pem_data = der_to_pem($der_data, $header_name, $passord, $cipher_name); # $header_name e.g. "PUBLIC KEY", "RSA PRIVATE KEY" ... # $cipher_name e.g. "DES-EDE3-CBC", "AES-256-CBC" (DEFAULT) ...
Convert DER to PEM representation. Supports also password protected PEM data.

if (is_v4uuid($uuid)) { ... }
Checks the given $uuid string whether it matches V4 UUID format and returns 0 (mismatch) or 1 (match).
