NAME
Crypt::HCE_SHA - Perl extension implementing one way hash chaining encryption using SHA SYNOPSIS
use Crypt::HCE_SHA; $hce_sha = Crypt::HCE_SHA->new("SharedSecret", "Random01,39j309ad"); $crypted = $hce_sha->hce_block_encrypt("Encrypt this information"); $info = $hce_sha->hce_block_decrypt($crypted); $mime_crypted = $hce_sha->hce_block_encode_mime("Encrypt and Base64 this information"); $info = $hce_sha->hce_block_decode_mime($mime_crypted); DESCRIPTION
This module implements a chaining block cipher using a one way hash. This method of encryption is the same that is used by radius (RFC2138) and is also described in Applied Cryptography. Two interfaces are provided in the module. The first is straight block encryption/decryption the second does base64 mime encoding/decoding of the encrypted/decrypted blocks. The idea is the the two sides have a shared secret that supplies one of the keys and a randomly generated block of bytes provides the second key. The random key is passed in cleartext between the two sides. An example client and server are packaged as modules with this module. They are used in the tests. They can be found in the examples directory. Thanks to Jake Angerman for the bug report on the bug in key generation for the chaining portion of the algorithm AUTHOR

NAME
Image::ExifTool::AES - AES encryption with cipher-block chaining SYNOPSIS
use Image::ExifTool::AES qw(Crypt); $err = Crypt($plaintext, $key, 1); # encryption $err = Crypt($ciphertext, $key); # decryption DESCRIPTION
This module contains an implementation of the AES encryption/decryption algorithms with cipher-block chaining (CBC) and RFC 2898 PKCS #5 padding. This is the AESV2 and AESV3 encryption mode used in PDF documents. EXPORTS
Exports nothing by default, but "Crypt" may be exported. METHODS
Crypt Implement AES encryption/decryption with cipher-block chaining. Inputs: 0) Scalar reference for data to encrypt/decrypt. 1) Encryption key string (must have length 16, 24 or 32). 2) [optional] Encrypt flag (false to decrypt). 3) [optional] Flag to avoid removing padding after decrypting, or to avoid adding 16 bytes of padding before encrypting when data length is already a multiple of 16 bytes. Returns: On success, the return value is undefined and the data is encrypted or decrypted as specified. Otherwise returns an error string and the data is left in an indeterminate state. Notes: The length of the encryption key dictates the AES mode, with lengths of 16, 24 and 32 bytes resulting in AES-128, AES-192 and AES-256. When encrypting, the input data may be any length and will be padded to an even 16-byte block size using the specified padding technique. If the encrypt flag has length 16, it is used as the initialization vector for the cipher-block chaining, otherwise a random IV is generated. Upon successful return the data will be encrypted, with the first 16 bytes of the data being the CBC IV. When decrypting, the input data begins with the 16-byte CBC initialization vector. BUGS
This code is blindingly slow. But in truth, slowing down processing is the main purpose of encryption, so this really can't be considered a bug. AUTHOR
