It depends on the encryption method. Encryption can be classified as either
stream or
block based.

Hi all,
I'm looking for secure file encryption tools that use MAC address as encryption key. FYI, I'm using Red Hat Enterprise Linux OS.

This file can only be decrypted... (2 Replies)

crypt::des
DES(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation DES(3)
NAME
Crypt::DES - Perl DES encryption module
SYNOPSIS
use Crypt::DES;
DESCRIPTION
The module implements the Crypt::CBC interface, which has the following methods
blocksize =item keysize =item encrypt =item decrypt
FUNCTIONS
blocksize
Returns the size (in bytes) of the block cipher.
keysize
Returns the size (in bytes) of the key. Optimal size is 8 bytes.
new
my $cipher = new Crypt::DES $key;
This creates a new Crypt::DES BlockCipher object, using $key, where $key is a key of "keysize()" bytes.
encrypt
my $cipher = new Crypt::DES $key;
my $ciphertext = $cipher->encrypt($plaintext);
This function encrypts $plaintext and returns the $ciphertext where $plaintext and $ciphertext should be of "blocksize()" bytes.
decrypt
my $cipher = new Crypt::DES $key;
my $plaintext = $cipher->decrypt($ciphertext);
This function decrypts $ciphertext and returns the $plaintext where $plaintext and $ciphertext should be of "blocksize()" bytes.
EXAMPLE
my $key = pack("H16", "0123456789ABCDEF");
my $cipher = new Crypt::DES $key;
my $ciphertext = $cipher->encrypt("plaintex"); # NB - 8 bytes
print unpack("H16", $ciphertext), "
";
NOTES
Do note that DES only uses 8 byte keys and only works on 8 byte data blocks. If you're intending to encrypt larger blocks or entire files,
please use Crypt::CBC in conjunction with this module. See the Crypt::CBC documentation for proper syntax and use.
Also note that the DES algorithm is, by today's standard, weak encryption. Crypt::Blowfish is highly recommended if you're interested in
using strong encryption and a faster algorithm.
