NAME

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

ABSTRACT

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

SYNOPSIS

    use Crypt::Anubis;

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

DESCRIPTION

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.

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.

EXAMPLE 1

    #!/usr/local/bin/perl

    use diagnostics;
    use strict;
    use warnings;
    use Crypt::Anubis;

    # key must be 16 bytes long
    my $key = "0123456789abcdef";

    my $cipher = new Crypt::Anubis $key;

    print "blocksize = ", $cipher->blocksize, " bytes \n";
    print "keysize = ", $cipher->keysize, " bytes \n";

    # block must be 16 bytes long
    my $plaintext1 = "0123456789abcdef";

    my $ciphertext = $cipher->encrypt($plaintext1);
    my $plaintext2 = $cipher->decrypt($ciphertext);

    print "Decryption OK\n" if ($plaintext1 eq $plaintext2);

EXAMPLE 2

    #!/usr/local/bin/perl

    use diagnostics;
    use strict;
    use warnings;
    use Crypt::CBC;  # CBC automatically loads Anubis for us

    # when using Crypt::CBC, key may be of ANY length
    my $key = "0123456789abcdef";

    # IV must be exactly 16 bytes long
    my $IV = pack "H32", 0;

    my $cipher = Crypt::CBC->new({'key' => $key,
                                  'cipher' => 'Anubis',
                                  'iv' => $IV,
                                  'regenerate_key' => 1,
                                  'padding' => 'standard',
                                  'prepend_iv' => 0
                                });

    # when using Crypt::CBC, plaintext may be of ANY length
    my $plaintext1 = "This is a test";

    my $ciphertext = $cipher->encrypt($plaintext1);
    my $plaintext2 = $cipher->decrypt($ciphertext);

    print "Decryption OK\n" if ($plaintext1 eq $plaintext2);
