#NAME

Crypt::Mode::ECB - Block cipher mode ECB [Electronic codebook]

#SYNOPSIS

use Crypt::Mode::ECB;
my $m = Crypt::Mode::ECB->new('AES');

#(en|de)crypt at once
my $ciphertext = $m->encrypt($plaintext, $key);
my $plaintext = $m->decrypt($ciphertext, $key);

#encrypt more chunks
$m->start_encrypt($key);
my $ciphertext = $m->add('some data');
$ciphertext .= $m->add('more data');
$ciphertext .= $m->finish;

#decrypt more chunks
$m->start_decrypt($key);
my $plaintext = $m->add($some_ciphertext);
$plaintext .= $m->add($more_ciphertext);
$plaintext .= $m->finish;

#DESCRIPTION

This module implements ECB cipher mode. NOTE: it works only with ciphers from CryptX (Crypt::Cipher::NNNN). BEWARE: ECB is inherently insecure, if you are not sure go for Crypt::Mode::CBC!

#METHODS

#new

my $m = Crypt::Mode::ECB->new($name);
#or
my $m = Crypt::Mode::ECB->new($name, $padding);
#or
my $m = Crypt::Mode::ECB->new($name, $padding, $cipher_rounds);

# $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>
# $padding .... 0 no padding (plaintext size has to be multiple of block length)
#               1 PKCS5 padding, Crypt::CBC's "standard" - DEFAULT
#               2 Crypt::CBC's "oneandzeroes"
#               3 ANSI X.923 padding
#               4 zero padding
#               5 zero padding (+a block of zeros if the output length is divisible by the blocksize)
# $cipher_rounds ... optional num of rounds for given cipher

#encrypt

my $ciphertext = $m->encrypt($plaintext, $key);

#decrypt

my $plaintext = $m->decrypt($ciphertext, $key);

#start_encrypt

$m->start_encrypt($key);

#start_decrypt

$m->start_decrypt($key);

#add

# in encrypt mode
my $plaintext = $m->add($ciphertext);

# in decrypt mode
my $ciphertext = $m->add($plaintext);

#finish

#encrypt more chunks
$m->start_encrypt($key);
my $ciphertext = '';
$ciphertext .= $m->add('some data');
$ciphertext .= $m->add('more data');
$ciphertext .= $m->finish;

#decrypt more chunks
$m->start_decrypt($key);
my $plaintext = '';
$plaintext .= $m->add($some_ciphertext);
$plaintext .= $m->add($more_ciphertext);
$plaintext .= $m->finish;
