NAME

Crypt::Noekeon - Crypt::CBC-compliant block cipher

ABSTRACT

Noekeon is a 128-bit key, 128-bit block cipher designed by Joan Daemen, Michael Peeters, Vincent Rijmen, and Gilles Van Assche. Noekeon was submitted as a NESSIE candidate.

SYNOPSIS

use Crypt::Noekeon;

$cipher = new Crypt::Noekeon $key;
$ciphertext = $cipher->encrypt($plaintext);
$plaintext  = $cipher->decrypt($ciphertext);

DESCRIPTION

Noekeon is a 128-bit key, 128-bit block cipher designed by Joan Daemen, Michael Peeters, Vincent Rijmen, and Gilles Van Assche. Noekeon was submitted as a NESSIE candidate.

This module supports the Crypt::CBC interface, with the following functions.

Functions

blocksize

Returns the size (in bytes) of the block (16, in this case).

keysize

Returns the size (in bytes) of the key (16, in this case).

encrypt($data)

Encrypts 16 bytes of $data and returns the corresponding ciphertext.

decrypt($data)

Decrypts 16 bytes of $data and returns the corresponding plaintext.

EXAMPLE 1

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

use diagnostics;
use strict;
use warnings;
use Crypt::Noekeon;

# key must be 16 bytes long
my $key = "0123456789abcdef";

my $cipher = new Crypt::Noekeon $key;

print "blocksize = ", $cipher->blocksize, " bytes \n";
print "keysize = ", $cipher->keysize, " bytes \n";

# block must be 16 bytes long
my $plaintext1 = "0123456789abcdef";

my $ciphertext = $cipher->encrypt($plaintext1);
my $plaintext2 = $cipher->decrypt($ciphertext);

print "Decryption OK\n" if ($plaintext1 eq $plaintext2);

EXAMPLE 2

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

use diagnostics;
use strict;
use warnings;
use Crypt::CBC;  # CBC automatically loads Noekeon for us

# when using Crypt::CBC, key may be of ANY length
my $key = "0123456789abcdef";

# IV must be exactly 16 bytes long
my $IV = pack "H32", 0;

my $cipher = new Crypt::CBC->new({'key' => $key,
                                  'cipher' => 'Noekeon',
                                  'iv' => $IV,
                                  'regenerate_key' => 1,
                                  'padding' => 'standard',
                                  'prepend_iv' => 0
                                });

# when using Crypt::CBC, plaintext may be of ANY length
my $plaintext1 = "This is a test";

my $ciphertext = $cipher->encrypt($plaintext1);
my $plaintext2 = $cipher->decrypt($ciphertext);

print "Decryption OK\n" if ($plaintext1 eq $plaintext2);
