NAME
Crypt::AuthEnc::EAX - Authenticated encryption in EAX mode
SYNOPSIS
### OO interface
use Crypt::AuthEnc::EAX;
# encrypt and authenticate
my $ae = Crypt::AuthEnc::EAX->new("AES", $key, $iv);
$ae->adata_add('additional_authenticated_data1');
$ae->adata_add('additional_authenticated_data2');
my $ct = $ae->encrypt_add('data1');
$ct .= $ae->encrypt_add('data2');
$ct .= $ae->encrypt_add('data3');
my $tag = $ae->encrypt_done();
# decrypt and verify
my $ae = Crypt::AuthEnc::EAX->new("AES", $key, $iv);
$ae->adata_add('additional_authenticated_data1');
$ae->adata_add('additional_authenticated_data2');
my $pt = $ae->decrypt_add('ciphertext1');
$pt .= $ae->decrypt_add('ciphertext2');
$pt .= $ae->decrypt_add('ciphertext3');
my $tag = $ae->decrypt_done();
die "decrypt failed" unless $tag eq $expected_tag;
#or
my $result = $ae->decrypt_done($expected_tag); # 0 or 1
### functional interface
use Crypt::AuthEnc::EAX qw(eax_encrypt_authenticate eax_decrypt_verify);
my ($ciphertext, $tag) = eax_encrypt_authenticate('AES', $key, $iv, $adata, $plaintext);
my $plaintext = eax_decrypt_verify('AES', $key, $iv, $adata, $ciphertext, $tag);
DESCRIPTION
EAX is a mode that requires a cipher, CTR and OMAC support and provides encryption and
authentication. It is initialized with a random IV that can be shared publicly,
additional authenticated data which can be fixed and public, and a random secret symmetric
key.
EXPORT
Nothing is exported by default.
You can export selected functions:
use Crypt::AuthEnc::EAX qw(eax_encrypt_authenticate eax_decrypt_verify);
FUNCTIONS
eax_encrypt_authenticate
my ($ciphertext, $tag) = eax_encrypt_authenticate($cipher, $key, $iv, $adata, $plaintext);
# $cipher .. 'AES' or name of any other cipher with 16-byte block len
# $key ..... AES key of proper length (128/192/256bits)
# $iv ...... unique initialization vector (no need to keep it secret)
# $adata ... additional authenticated data
eax_decrypt_verify
my $plaintext = eax_decrypt_verify($cipher, $key, $iv, $adata, $ciphertext, $tag);
# on error returns undef
METHODS
new
my $ae = Crypt::AuthEnc::EAX->new($cipher, $key, $iv);
#or
my $ae = Crypt::AuthEnc::EAX->new($cipher, $key, $iv, $adata);
# $cipher .. 'AES' or name of any other cipher with 16-byte block len
# $key ..... AES key of proper length (128/192/256bits)
# $iv ...... unique initialization vector (no need to keep it secret)
# $adata ... additional authenticated data (optional)
adata_add
$ae->adata_add($adata); # can be called multiple times
encrypt_add
$ciphertext = $ae->encrypt_add($data); # can be called multiple times
encrypt_done
$tag = $ae->encrypt_done(); # returns $tag value
decrypt_add
$plaintext = $ae->decrypt_add($ciphertext); # can be called multiple times
decrypt_done
my $tag = $ae->decrypt_done; # returns $tag value
#or
my $result = $ae->decrypt_done($tag); # returns 1 (success) or 0 (failure)
clone
my $ae_new = $ae->clone;
