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.

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