NAME
Crypt::Mode::CTR - Block cipher mode CTR [Counter mode]
SYNOPSIS
use Crypt::Mode::CTR;
my $m = Crypt::Mode::CTR->new('AES');
#(en|de)crypt at once
my $ciphertext = $m->encrypt($plaintext, $key, $iv);
my $plaintext = $m->decrypt($ciphertext, $key, $iv);
#encrypt more chunks
$m->start_encrypt($key, $iv);
my $ciphertext = $m->add('some data');
$ciphertext .= $m->add('more data');
#decrypt more chunks
$m->start_decrypt($key, $iv);
my $plaintext = $m->add($some_ciphertext);
$plaintext .= $m->add($more_ciphertext);
DESCRIPTION
This module implements CTR cipher mode. NOTE: it works only with
ciphers from CryptX (Crypt::Cipher::NNNN).
METHODS
new
my $m = Crypt::Mode::CTR->new($cipher_name);
#or
my $m = Crypt::Mode::CTR->new($cipher_name, $ctr_mode, $ctr_width);
#or
my $m = Crypt::Mode::CTR->new($cipher_name, $ctr_mode, $ctr_width, $cipher_rounds);
# $cipher_name .. one of 'AES', 'Anubis', 'Blowfish', 'CAST5', 'Camellia', 'DES', 'DES_EDE',
# 'KASUMI', 'Khazad', 'MULTI2', 'Noekeon', 'RC2', 'RC5', 'RC6',
# 'SAFERP', 'SAFER_K128', 'SAFER_K64', 'SAFER_SK128', 'SAFER_SK64',
# 'SEED', 'Skipjack', 'Twofish', 'XTEA', 'IDEA', 'Serpent'
# simply any <NAME> for which there exists Crypt::Cipher::<NAME>
# $ctr_mode ..... 0 little-endian counter (DEFAULT)
# 1 big-endian counter
# 2 little-endian + RFC3686 incrementing
# 3 big-endian + RFC3686 incrementing
# $ctr_width .... counter width in bytes (DEFAULT = full block width)
# $cipher_rounds ... optional num of rounds for given cipher
encrypt
my $ciphertext = $m->encrypt($plaintext, $key, $iv);
decrypt
my $plaintext = $m->decrypt($ciphertext, $key, $iv);
start_encrypt
$m->start_encrypt($key, $iv);
start_decrypt
$m->start_decrypt($key, $iv);
add
# in encrypt mode
my $plaintext = $m->add($ciphertext);
# in decrypt mode
my $ciphertext = $m->add($plaintext);
