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 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.
