NAME

Net::NSCA::Client::Connection::TLS - Represents the transport layer security on a connection.

VERSION

This documentation refers to Net::NSCA::Client::Connection::TLS version 0.001

SYNOPSIS

use Net::NSCA::Client::Connection::TLS;

# Create a new connection TLS
my $tls = Net::NSCA::Client::Connection::TLS->new(
  encryption_type => 'blowfish',
  password        => $my_secret_password,
);

# Encrypt a packet
my $encrypted_packet = $tls->encrypt(
  byte_stream => $data_packet,
  iv          => $iv_salt,
);

DESCRIPTION

Represents a connection between the NSCA client and server.

CONSTRUCTOR

This is fully object-oriented, and as such before any method can be used, the constructor needs to be called to create an object to work with.

new

This will construct a new object.

new(%attributes)

%attributes is a HASH where the keys are attributes (specified in the "ATTRIBUTES" section).

new($attributes)

$attributes is a HASHREF where the keys are attributes (specified in the "ATTRIBUTES" section).

ATTRIBUTES

# Set an attribute
$object->attribute_name($new_value);

# Get an attribute
my $value = $object->attribute_name;

encryption_type

This is the type of encryption for this transport layer security object. This will default to "xor".

password

This is the password to use for the encryption.

METHODS

encrypt

This will encrypt a byte stream according to the attributes of the object. This method takes a HASH of arguments with the following keys:

byte_stream

Required

This is the byte stream to encrypt.

iv

Required

This is the initialization vector to use when encrypting the byte stream.
