NAME

Crypt::Sodium::XS::OO::stream - Stream ciphers

SYNOPSIS

use Crypt::Sodium::XS::OO::stream;
my $stream = Crypt::Sodium::XS::OO::stream->new;
# or use the shortcut
# use Crypt::Sodium::XS;
# my $stream = Crypt::Sodium::XS->stream;

DESCRIPTION

These functions are stream ciphers. They do not provide authenticated encryption. They can be used to generate pseudo-random data from a key, or as building blocks for implementing custom constructions, but they are not alternatives to Crypt::Sodium::XS::OO::secretbox.

CONSTRUCTOR

new

my $stream = Crypt::Sodium::XS::OO::stream->new;
my $stream = Crypt::Sodium::XS::OO::stream->new(primitive => 'xchacha20');
my $stream = Crypt::Sodium::XS->stream;

Returns a new secretstream object for the given primitive. If not given, the default primitive is default.

METHODS

PRIMITIVE

my $stream = Crypt::Sodium::XS::OO::stream->new;
my $default_primitive = $stream->PRIMITIVE;

KEYBYTES

my $key_length = $stream->KEYBYTES;

MESSAGEBYTES_MAX

my $plaintext_max_length = $stream->MESSAGEBYTES_MAX;

NONCEBYTES

my $nonce_length = $stream->NONCEBYTES;

primitives

my @primitives = $pwhash->primitives;

Returns a list of all supported primitive names (including 'default').

keygen

my $key = $stream->keygen;

nonce

my $nonce = $stream->nonce;

stream

my $stream_data = $stream->stream($length, $nonce, $key);

xor

my $ciphertext = $stream->xor($plaintext, $nonce, $key);

xor_ic

my $ciphertext = $stream->xor_ic($plaintext, $nonce, $internal_counter, $key);

NOTE: xor_ic is not supported with the salsa2012 primitive.
