NAME¶
Crypt::Cipher::SEED - Symmetric cipher SEED, key size: 128 bits
SYNOPSIS¶
  ### example 1
  use Crypt::Mode::CBC;
  my $key = '...'; # length has to be valid key size for this cipher
  my $iv = '...';  # 16 bytes
  my $cbc = Crypt::Mode::CBC->new('SEED');
  my $ciphertext = $cbc->encrypt("secret data", $key, $iv);
  ### example 2 (slower)
  use Crypt::CBC;
  use Crypt::Cipher::SEED;
  my $key = '...'; # length has to be valid key size for this cipher
  my $iv = '...';  # 16 bytes
  my $cbc = Crypt::CBC->new( -cipher=>'Cipher::SEED', -key=>$key, -iv=>$iv );
  my $ciphertext = $cbc->encrypt("secret data");
DESCRIPTION¶
This module implements the SEED cipher. Provided interface is compliant with Crypt::CBC module.
BEWARE: This module implements just elementary "one-block-(en|de)cryption" operation - if you want to encrypt/decrypt generic data you have to use some of the cipher block modes - check for example Crypt::Mode::CBC, Crypt::Mode::CTR or Crypt::CBC (which will be slower).
METHODS¶
new¶
$c = Crypt::Cipher::SEED->new($key); #or $c = Crypt::Cipher::SEED->new($key, $rounds);
encrypt¶
$ciphertext = $c->encrypt($plaintext);
decrypt¶
$plaintext = $c->decrypt($ciphertext);
keysize¶
$c->keysize; #or Crypt::Cipher::SEED->keysize; #or Crypt::Cipher::SEED::keysize;
blocksize¶
$c->blocksize; #or Crypt::Cipher::SEED->blocksize; #or Crypt::Cipher::SEED::blocksize;
max_keysize¶
$c->max_keysize; #or Crypt::Cipher::SEED->max_keysize; #or Crypt::Cipher::SEED::max_keysize;
min_keysize¶
$c->min_keysize; #or Crypt::Cipher::SEED->min_keysize; #or Crypt::Cipher::SEED::min_keysize;
default_rounds¶
$c->default_rounds; #or Crypt::Cipher::SEED->default_rounds; #or Crypt::Cipher::SEED::default_rounds;
