Crypt::Mode::OFB(3)

NAME
Crypt::Mode::OFB - Block cipher mode OFB [Output feedback]

SYNOPSIS
   use Crypt::Mode::OFB;
   my $m = Crypt::Mode::OFB->new('AES');

   #(en|de)crypt at once
   my $ciphertext = $m->encrypt($plaintext, $key, $iv);
   my $plaintext = $m->decrypt($ciphertext, $key, $iv);

   #encrypt more chunks
   $m->start_encrypt($key, $iv);
   my $ciphertext = $m->add('some data');
   $ciphertext .= $m->add('more data');

   #decrypt more chunks
   $m->start_decrypt($key, $iv);
   my $plaintext = $m->add($some_ciphertext);
   $plaintext .= $m->add($more_ciphertext);

DESCRIPTION
This module implements OFB cipher mode. NOTE: it works only with ciphers from CryptX (Crypt::Cipher::NNNN).

METHODS

  new
 my $m = Crypt::Mode::OFB->new($name);
 #or
 my $m = Crypt::Mode::OFB->new($name, $cipher_rounds);

 # $name ............ one of 'AES', 'Anubis', 'Blowfish', 'CAST5', 'Camellia', 'DES', 'DES_EDE',
 #                    'KASUMI', 'Khazad', 'MULTI2', 'Noekeon', 'RC2', 'RC5', 'RC6',
 #                    'SAFERP', 'SAFER_K128', 'SAFER_K64', 'SAFER_SK128', 'SAFER_SK64',
 #                    'SEED', 'Skipjack', 'Twofish', 'XTEA', 'IDEA', 'Serpent'
 #                    simply any <NAME> for which there exists Crypt::Cipher::<NAME>
 # $cipher_rounds ... optional num of rounds for given cipher

  encrypt
   my $ciphertext = $m->encrypt($plaintext, $key, $iv);

  decrypt
   my $plaintext = $m->decrypt($ciphertext, $key, $iv);

  start_encrypt
   $m->start_encrypt($key, $iv);

  start_decrypt
   $m->start_decrypt($key, $iv);

  add
   # in encrypt mode
   my $plaintext = $m->add($ciphertext);

   # in decrypt mode
   my $ciphertext = $m->add($plaintext);
