Crypt::Anubis - Crypt::CBC-compliant block cipher

Anubis is a variable-length key, 128-bit block cipher designed by Vincent Rijmen and Paulo S. L. M. Barreto.

    use Crypt::Anubis;

    $cipher = new Crypt::Anubis $key;
    $ciphertext = $cipher->encrypt($plaintext);
    $plaintext  = $cipher->decrypt($ciphertext);

Anubis is a variable-length key, 128-bit block cipher designed by Vincent Rijmen and Paulo S. L. M. Barreto. Key length can be 128, 160, 192, 224, 256, 288, or 320 bits. The default key length used in this implementation is 128 bits (16 bytes).

This module supports the Crypt::CBC interface, with the following functions.

blocksize

Returns the size (in bytes) of the block (16, in this case).

keysize

Returns the size (in bytes) of the key (16, in this case).

encrypt($data)

Encrypts 16 bytes of $data and returns the corresponding ciphertext.

decrypt($data)

Decrypts 16 bytes of $data and returns the corresponding plaintext.
