NAME

Crypt::Stream::ChaCha - Stream cipher ChaCha

SYNOPSIS

   use Crypt::Stream::ChaCha;

   # encrypt
   $key = "1234567890123456";
   $iv  = "123456789012";
   $stream = Crypt::Stream::ChaCha->new($key, $iv);
   $ct = $stream->crypt("plain message");

   # decrypt
   $key = "1234567890123456";
   $iv  = "123456789012";
   $stream = Crypt::Stream::ChaCha->new($key, $iv);
   $pt = $stream->crypt($ct);

DESCRIPTION

Provides an interface to the ChaCha stream cipher.

METHODS

crypt

 $ciphertext = $stream->crypt($plaintext);
 #or
 $plaintext = $stream->crypt($ciphertext);

keystream

 $random_key = $stream->keystream($length);

clone
