NAME
Crypt::Mac::BLAKE2s - Message authentication code BLAKE2s MAC (RFC 7693)
SYNOPSIS
### Functional interface:
use Crypt::Mac::BLAKE2s qw( blake2s blake2s_hex blake2s_b64 blake2s_b64u );
# calculate MAC from string/buffer
my $blake2s_raw = blake2s($size, $key, 'data buffer');
my $blake2s_hex = blake2s_hex($size, $key, 'data buffer');
my $blake2s_b64 = blake2s_b64($size, $key, 'data buffer');
my $blake2s_b64u = blake2s_b64u($size, $key, 'data buffer');
### OO interface:
use Crypt::Mac::BLAKE2s;
my $d = Crypt::Mac::BLAKE2s->new($size, $key);
$d->add('any data');
my $result_hex = $d->hexmac; # finalizes the object
# for another output encoding use a fresh object (or clone before finalizing)
my $result_b64u = Crypt::Mac::BLAKE2s->new($size, $key)->add('any data')->b64umac;
# or MAC a file instead
my $file_result_raw = Crypt::Mac::BLAKE2s->new($size, $key)->addfile('filename.dat')->mac;DESCRIPTION
Provides an interface to the BLAKE2s message authentication code (MAC) algorithm.
EXPORT
Nothing is exported by default.
You can export selected functions:
use Crypt::Mac::BLAKE2s qw( blake2s blake2s_hex blake2s_b64 blake2s_b64u );Or all of them at once:
use Crypt::Mac::BLAKE2s ':all';FUNCTIONS
blake2s
Joins all arguments into a single string and returns its BLAKE2s message authentication code encoded as a binary string.
Data arguments for the functional helpers are converted to byte strings using Perl's usual scalar stringification. Defined scalars, including numbers and string-overloaded objects, are accepted. undef is treated as an empty string and may emit Perl's usual "uninitialized value" warning. The same rules apply to blake2s_hex, blake2s_b64, and blake2s_b64u.
my $blake2s_raw = blake2s($size, $key, 'data buffer');
#or
my $blake2s_raw = blake2s($size, $key, 'any data', 'more data', 'even more data');blake2s_hex
Joins all arguments into a single string and returns its BLAKE2s message authentication code encoded as a hexadecimal string.
my $blake2s_hex = blake2s_hex($size, $key, 'data buffer');
#or
my $blake2s_hex = blake2s_hex($size, $key, 'any data', 'more data', 'even more data');blake2s_b64
Joins all arguments into a single string and returns its BLAKE2s message authentication code encoded as a Base64 string.
my $blake2s_b64 = blake2s_b64($size, $key, 'data buffer');
#or
my $blake2s_b64 = blake2s_b64($size, $key, 'any data', 'more data', 'even more data');blake2s_b64u
Joins all arguments into a single string and returns its BLAKE2s message authentication code encoded as a Base64 URL-safe string (see RFC 4648 section 5).
my $blake2s_b64url = blake2s_b64u($size, $key, 'data buffer');
#or
my $blake2s_b64url = blake2s_b64u($size, $key, 'any data', 'more data', 'even more data');METHODS
Unless noted otherwise, assume $d is an existing MAC object created via new, for example:
my $d = Crypt::Mac::BLAKE2s->new($size, $key);new
my $d = Crypt::Mac::BLAKE2s->new($size, $key);
# $size .. [integer] desired MAC output size in bytes (1 - 32)
# $key ... [binary string] the key (1 - 32 bytes)clone
$d->clone();add
Appends data to the message. Returns the object itself (for chaining). Croaks if the object has already been finalized by mac, hexmac, b64mac, or b64umac.
Each argument is converted to bytes using Perl's usual scalar stringification. Defined scalars, including numbers and string-overloaded objects, are accepted. undef is treated as an empty string and may emit Perl's usual "uninitialized value" warning.
$d->add('any data');
#or
$d->add('any data', 'more data', 'even more data');addfile
Reads the file content and appends it to the message. Returns the object itself (for chaining). Croaks if the object has already been finalized by mac, hexmac, b64mac, or b64umac.
$d->addfile('filename.dat');
#or
my $filehandle = ...; # existing binary-mode filehandle
$d->addfile($filehandle);mac
Returns the binary MAC (raw bytes) and finalizes the object. After the first call to mac, hexmac, b64mac, or b64umac, later calls to add, addfile, or any MAC getter croak.
my $result_raw = $d->mac();hexmac
Returns the MAC encoded as a lowercase hexadecimal string and finalizes the object. After the first call to mac, hexmac, b64mac, or b64umac, later calls to add, addfile, or any MAC getter croak.
my $result_hex = $d->hexmac();b64mac
Returns the MAC encoded as a Base64 string with trailing = padding and finalizes the object. After the first call to mac, hexmac, b64mac, or b64umac, later calls to add, addfile, or any MAC getter croak.
my $result_b64 = $d->b64mac();b64umac
Returns the MAC encoded as a Base64 URL-safe string (no trailing =) and finalizes the object. After the first call to mac, hexmac, b64mac, or b64umac, later calls to add, addfile, or any MAC getter croak.
my $result_b64url = $d->b64umac();
