NAME
Crypt::Mode::ECB - Block cipher mode ECB [Electronic codebook]
SYNOPSIS
use 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);
