NAME Crypt::Rijndael_PP - Perl implementation of Rijndael DISCLAIMER This is a pure perl implementation of the new AES Rijndael. You want to use "Crypt::Rijndael" where available. This implementation is really slow, but I am working on it. SYNOPSIS # Functional style use Crypt::Rijndael_PP ':all'; $key = '1234567890ABCDEF' x 4; # 256bit hex number # keysize = 256bit, blocksize = 128bit $c_txt = rijndael_encrypt($key, MODE_CBC, $data, 256, 128); $p_txt = rijndael_decrypt($key, MODE_CBC, $c_txt, 256, 128); # OO style # same interface as Crypt::Rijndael use Crypt::Rijndael_PP; $cipher = Crypt::Rijndael_PP->new( pack('H*', $key), MODE_CBC ); $c_txt = $cipher->encrypt($data); $p_txt = $cipher->decrypt($c_txt); DESCRIPTION This modules shares the OO style interface with "Crypt::Rijndael" from Rafael R. Sevilla. * Supported modes: Electronic CodeBook (MODE_ECB) and Cipher Block Chaining (MODE_CBC). Please use "Crypt::CBC" for CBC-Mode, as my CBC is not compatible with neither "Crypt::CBC" nor "Crypt::Rijndael" and it is subject to change in the near future. When using "Crypt::CBC" this module is 100% compatible to "Crypt::Rijndael" and you can decrypt and encrypt your data with both modules! * Supported keysizes: 128, 192 and 256 (default) * Supported blocksizes: 128 (default), 192 and 256 If the size of the key does not match the given keysize then the key is padded with "0" (hex) or truncated to the right size. The last data block is padded with "\0" if it does not match a multiple of the blocksize. Warnings a raised in both cases. EXAMPLES Using "Crypt::CBC" use Crypt::CBC; my $key = 'my secret key'; my $input = 'The answer is 42.'; my $cipher = new Crypt::CBC($key,'Rijndael_PP'); my $ciphertext = $cipher->encrypt($input); my $plaintext = $cipher->decrypt($ciphertext); # - or - #!/usr/local/bin/perl -w # # Usage: r.pl e "my secret key" < in > out # use strict; use Crypt::CBC; die "Usage: $0 mode([ed]) key\n" unless @ARGV == 2; my $cipher = new Crypt::CBC($ARGV[1],'Rijndael_PP'); $cipher->start($ARGV[0]); my $buffer; while( read(STDIN, $buffer, 1024) ) { print $cipher->crypt($buffer); } print $cipher->finish; LIMITATIONS This implementation is really slow. I'm trying to tweak the performance in coming releases. CBC-Mode is not yet compatible to "Crypt::Rijndael". But you are advised to use "Crypt::CBC" for this mode anyway.
