NAME

Crypt::Mac::Pelican - Message authentication code Pelican (AES based MAC)

SYNOPSIS

### Functional interface:
use Crypt::Mac::Pelican qw( pelican pelican_hex );

# calculate MAC from string/buffer
$pelican_raw = pelican($key, 'data string');
$pelican_hex = pelican_hex($key, 'data string');
$pelican_b64 = pelican_b64($key, 'data string');

### OO interface:
use Crypt::Mac::Pelican;

$d = Crypt::Mac::Pelican->new($key);
$d->add('any data');
$d->addfile('filename.dat');
$d->addfile(*FILEHANDLE);
$result_raw = $d->mac;    # raw bytes
$result_hex = $d->hexmac; # hexadecimal form
$result_b64 = $d->b64mac; # Base64 form

DESCRIPTION

Provides an interface to the Pelican message authentication code (MAC) algorithm.

EXPORT

Nothing is exported by default.

You can export selected functions:

use Crypt::Mac::Pelican qw(pelican pelican_hex );

Or all of them at once:

use Crypt::Mac::Pelican ':all';

FUNCTIONS

pelican

Logically joins all arguments into a single string, and returns its Pelican message authentication code encoded as a binary string.

$pelican_raw = pelican($key, 'data string');
#or
$pelican_raw = pelican($key, 'any data', 'more data', 'even more data');

pelican_hex

Logically joins all arguments into a single string, and returns its Pelican message authentication code encoded as a hexadecimal string.

$pelican_hex = pelican($key, 'data string');
#or
$pelican_hex = pelican($key, 'any data', 'more data', 'even more data');

pelican_b64

Logically joins all arguments into a single string, and returns its Pelican message authentication code encoded as a BASE64 string.

$pelican_b64 = pelican($key, 'data string');
#or
$pelican_b64 = pelican($key, 'any data', 'more data', 'even more data');

METHODS

The OO interface provides the same set of functions as Crypt::Mac.

new

$d = Crypt::Mac::Pelican->new($key);

clone

$d->clone();

reset

$d->reset();

add

$d->add('any data');
#or
$d->add('any data', 'more data', 'even more data');

addfile

$d->addfile('filename.dat');
#or
$d->addfile(*FILEHANDLE);

mac

$result_raw = $d->mac();

hexmac

$result_hex = $d->hexmac();

b64mac

$result_base64 = $d->b64mac();
