NAME

Crypt::Stream::Sober128 - Stream cipher Sober128

SYNOPSIS

use Crypt::Stream::Sober128;

# encrypt
my $key = "1234567890123456";
my $iv  = "123456789012";
my $enc_stream = Crypt::Stream::Sober128->new($key, $iv);
my $ct = $enc_stream->crypt("plain message");

# decrypt
my $dec_stream = Crypt::Stream::Sober128->new($key, $iv);
my $pt = $dec_stream->crypt($ct);

DESCRIPTION

Provides an interface to the Sober128 stream cipher.

METHODS

Unless noted otherwise, assume $stream is an existing stream object created via new, for example:

my $stream = Crypt::Stream::Sober128->new($key, $iv);

new

my $stream = Crypt::Stream::Sober128->new($key, $iv);
# $key .. [binary string] keylen must be multiple of 4 bytes
# $iv  .. [binary string] ivlen must be multiple of 4 bytes

crypt

Encrypts or decrypts data. The output has the same length as the input. Returns a binary string (raw bytes).

The input is converted using Perl's usual scalar stringification. Passing undef is treated as an empty string with the usual warning, and numeric scalars are stringified before processing.

my $ciphertext = $stream->crypt($plaintext);
#or
my $plaintext = $stream->crypt($ciphertext);

keystream

Returns $length bytes of raw keystream as a binary string.

The length is taken using Perl's usual numeric coercion. Values that coerce to an oversized unsigned length are rejected as too large.

my $random_key = $stream->keystream($length);

clone

Returns a copy of the stream cipher object in its current state.

my $stream2 = $stream->clone();
