Crypt::Eksblowfish::Family Description

Crypt::Eksblowfish::Family is a Perl module from the Eksblowfish cipher family. Crypt::Eksblowfish::Family is a Perl module from the Eksblowfish cipher family.SYNOPSIS use Crypt::Eksblowfish::Family; $family = Crypt::Eksblowfish::Family->new_family(8, $salt); $cost = $family->cost; $salt = $family->salt; $block_size = $family->blocksize; $key_size = $family->keysize; $cipher = $family->new($key);An object of this class represents an Eksblowfish cipher family. It contains the family parameters (cost and salt), and if combined with a key it yields an encryption function. See Crypt::Eksblowfish for discussion of the Eksblowfish algorithm.It is intended that an object of this class can be used as the "-cipher" parameter to Crypt::CBC and similar systems. Normally that parameter is the name of a class, such as "Crypt::Rijndael", where the class implements a block cipher algorithm. The class provides a new constructor that accepts a key. In the case of Eksblowfish, the key alone is not sufficient. An Eksblowfish family fills the role of block cipher algorithm. Therefore a family object is used in place of a class name, and it is the family object the provides the new constructor. Requirements: · Perl
