NAME

Net::SSH::Perl::Cipher::ChachaPoly - provides Chacha20 encryption with Poly1305 Authentication support for Net::SSH::Perl.

SYNOPSIS

use Net::SSH::Perl::Cipher;
my $eight_byte_iv = pack('N',0) . pack('N',1);
my $eight_byte_counter = chr(1) . 7 x "\0"; # little endian

my $cipher = Net::SSH::Perl::Cipher->new('ChachaPoly', $key);

# generate poly key
$cipher->ivsetup($eight_byte_iv,undef);
my $poly_key = "\0" x POLY1305_KEYLEN; # 32 byte key
$poly_key = $ciph->encrypt($poly_key);

$cipher->ivsetup($eight_byte_iv,$eight_byte_counter);
my $enc = $cipher->encrypt($plaintext);
my $tag = $cipher->poly1305($enc,$poly_key);

DESCRIPTION

Net::SSH::Perl::Cipher::Chacha provides Chacha20 encryption with Poly1305 support for Net::SSH::Perl.
