Apache::Wyrd::Services::CodeRing Description
Apache::Wyrd::Services::CodeRing is an Apache-resident crypto tool (Blowfish). Apache::Wyrd::Services::CodeRing is an Apache-resident crypto tool (Blowfish).SYNOPSIS my $cr1 = Apache::Wyrd::Services::CodeRing->new; my $key = $cr1->key; my $secret = "The turtle moves!" my $cytext = $cr1->encrypt($secret); my $cr2 = Apache::Wyrd::Services::CodeRing->new({key => $key}); my $plaintext = ($cr2->decrypt($crptext) || die "Key or cypher text was corrupt");The CodeRing is an encryption/decryption object for use primarily for encrypting state information into cookies or hidden variables without exposing the data to deconstruction or corruption in transference.It uses the blowfish algorithm via either a Crypt::Blowfish or Crypt::Blowfish_PP module, depending on which one compiles on this system, preferring the C-based one.The CodeRing uses an internal hashing algorithm (SHA) to check the validity of the decrypt. If the decrypt shows alteration, it returns an empty string.Unless the CodeRing is given a key on initialization, it uses an instance of the Apache::Wyrd::Services::Key class, which is designed to be a constant in primary server memory space. The Key, in this case, is "known" only to the Apache process, and is regenerated on each restart. Requirements: · Perl
