Summary: Crypt-CBC - Encrypt Data with Cipher Block Chaining Mode
Description:
This module is a Perl-only implementation of the cryptographic cipher block chaining mode (CBC). In combination with a block cipher such as DES or IDEA, you can encrypt and decrypt messages of arbitrarily long length. The encrypted messages are compatible with the encryption format used by SSLeay, and can be made compatible with the newer OpenSSL package by specifying the -salt argument. To use this module, you will first create a Crypt::CBC cipher object with new(). At the time of cipher creation, you specify an encryption key to use and, optionally, a block encryption algorithm. You will then call the start() method to initialize the encryption or decryption process, crypt() to encrypt or decrypt one or more blocks of data, and lastly finish(), to pad and encrypt the final block. For your convenience, you can call the encrypt() and decrypt() methods to operate on a whole data value at once.
