NAME
Crypt::DES_EDE3 - Triple-DES EDE encryption/decryption
SYNOPSIS
use Crypt::DES_EDE3;
my $ede3 = Crypt::DES_EDE3->new($key);
$ede3->encrypt($block);
DESCRIPTION
Crypt::DES_EDE3 implements DES-EDE3 encryption. This is triple-DES encryption where an
encrypt operation is encrypt-decrypt-encrypt, and decrypt is decrypt-encrypt-decrypt. This
implementation uses Crypt::DES to do its dirty DES work, and simply provides a wrapper
around that module: setting up the individual DES ciphers, initializing the keys, and
performing the encryption/decryption steps.
DES-EDE3 encryption requires a key size of 24 bytes.
You're probably best off not using this module directly, as the encrypt and decrypt
methods expect 8-octet blocks. You might want to use the module in conjunction with
Crypt::CBC, for example. This would be DES-EDE3-CBC, or triple-DES in outer CBC mode.
USAGE
$ede3 = Crypt::DES_EDE3->new($key)
Creates a new Crypt::DES_EDE3 object (really, a collection of three DES ciphers), and
initializes each cipher with part of $key, which should be at least 24 bytes. If it's
longer than 24 bytes, the extra bytes will be ignored.
Returns the new object.
$ede3->encrypt($block)
Encrypts an 8-byte block of data $block using the three DES ciphers in an encrypt-decrypt-
encrypt operation.
Returns the encrypted block.
$ede3->decrypt($block)
Decrypts an 8-byte block of data $block using the three DES ciphers in a decrypt-encrypt-
decrypt operation.
Returns the decrypted block.
$ede3->blocksize
Returns the block size (8).
$ede3->keysize
Returns the key size (24).
