6 Crypt::DES_EDE3 - Triple-DES EDE encryption/decryption

9 use Crypt::DES_EDE3;
10 my $ede3 = Crypt::DES_EDE3->new($key);
11 $ede3->encrypt($block);
12
14 Crypt::DES_EDE3 implements DES-EDE3 encryption. This is triple-DES
15 encryption where an encrypt operation is encrypt-decrypt-encrypt, and
16 decrypt is decrypt-encrypt-decrypt. This implementation uses Crypt::DES
17 to do its dirty DES work, and simply provides a wrapper around that
18 module: setting up the individual DES ciphers, initializing the keys,
19 and performing the encryption/decryption steps.
20
21 DES-EDE3 encryption requires a key size of 24 bytes.
22
23 You're probably best off not using this module directly, as the encrypt
24 and decrypt methods expect 8-octet blocks. You might want to use the
25 module in conjunction with Crypt::CBC, for example. This would be
26 DES-EDE3-CBC, or triple-DES in outer CBC mode.
27
29 $ede3 = Crypt::DES_EDE3->new($key)
30 Creates a new Crypt::DES_EDE3 object (really, a collection of three DES
31 ciphers), and initializes each cipher with part of $key, which should
32 be at least 24 bytes. If it's longer than 24 bytes, the extra bytes
33 will be ignored.
34
35 Returns the new object.
36
37 $ede3->encrypt($block)
38 Encrypts an 8-byte block of data $block using the three DES ciphers in
39 an encrypt-decrypt-encrypt operation.
40
41 Returns the encrypted block.
42
43 $ede3->decrypt($block)
44 Decrypts an 8-byte block of data $block using the three DES ciphers in
45 a decrypt-encrypt-decrypt operation.
46
47 Returns the decrypted block.
48
49 $ede3->blocksize
50 Returns the block size (8).
51
52 $ede3->keysize
53 Returns the key size (24).
