NAME

Crypt::Mode::ECB - Block cipher mode ECB [Electronic codebook]

SYNOPSIS

Crypt::Mode::ECB;
my $m = Crypt::Mode::ECB->new('AES');

#(en|de)crypt at once
my $ciphertext = $m->encrypt($plaintext, $key);
my $plaintext = $m->decrypt($ciphertext, $key);

#encrypt more chunks
$m->start_encrypt($key);
my $ciphertext = $m->add('some data');
$ciphertext .= $m->add('more data');
$ciphertext .= $m->finish;

#decrypt more chunks
$m->start_decrypt($key);
my $plaintext = $m->add($some_ciphertext);
$plaintext .= $m->add($more_ciphertext);
$plaintext .= $m->finish;

DESCRIPTION

This module implements ECB cipher mode. NOTE: it works only with ciphers from CryptX (Crypt::Cipher::NNNN). BEWARE: ECB is inherently insecure, if you are not sure go for Crypt::Mode::CBC!

METHODS

new

my $m = Crypt::Mode::ECB->new('AES');
#or
my $m = Crypt::Mode::ECB->new('AES', $padding);
#or
my $m = Crypt::Mode::ECB->new('AES', $padding, $cipher_rounds);

# $padding .... 0 no padding (plaintext size has to be myltiple of block length)
#               1 PKCS5 padding, Crypt::CBC's "standard" - DEFAULT
#               2 Crypt::CBC's "oneandzeroes"
# $cipher_rounds ... optional num of rounds for given cipher

encrypt

my $ciphertext = $m->encrypt($plaintext, $key);

decrypt

my $plaintext = $m->decrypt($ciphertext, $key);

start_encrypt

See example below "finish".

start_decrypt

See example below "finish".

add

See example below "finish".

finish

#encrypt more chunks
$m->start_encrypt($key);
my $ciphertext = '';
$ciphertext .= $m->add('some data');
$ciphertext .= $m->add('more data');
$ciphertext .= $m->finish;

#decrypt more chunks
$m->start_decrypt($key);
my $plaintext = '';
$plaintext .= $m->add($some_ciphertext);
$plaintext .= $m->add($more_ciphertext);
$plaintext .= $m->finish;
