This module is a Perl-only implementation of the ECB mode. In
|
|
combination with a block cipher such as DES, IDEA or Blowfish, you can
|
|
encrypt and decrypt messages of arbitrarily long length. Though for
|
|
security reasons other modes than ECB such as CBC should be preferred.
|
|
See textbooks on cryptography if you want to know why.
|
|
|
|
The functionality of the module can be accessed via OO methods or via
|
|
standard function calls. Remember that some crypting module like for
|
|
example Blowfish has to be installed. The syntax follows that of
|
|
Crypt::CBC meaning you can access Crypt::ECB exactly like Crypt::CBC,
|
|
though Crypt::ECB is more flexible. For example you can change the key
|
|
or the cipher without having to create a new crypt object.
