NAME

6       Crypt::Mode::ECB - Block cipher mode ECB [Electronic codebook]

SYNOPSIS

9          use Crypt::Mode::ECB;
10          my $m = Crypt::Mode::ECB->new('AES');
11
12          #(en|de)crypt at once
13          my $ciphertext = $m->encrypt($plaintext, $key);
14          my $plaintext = $m->decrypt($ciphertext, $key);
15
16          #encrypt more chunks
17          $m->start_encrypt($key);
18          my $ciphertext = $m->add('some data');
19          $ciphertext .= $m->add('more data');
20          $ciphertext .= $m->finish;
21
22          #decrypt more chunks
23          $m->start_decrypt($key);
24          my $plaintext = $m->add($some_ciphertext);
25          $plaintext .= $m->add($more_ciphertext);
26          $plaintext .= $m->finish;

DESCRIPTION

29       This module implements ECB cipher mode. NOTE: it works only with
30       ciphers from CryptX (Crypt::Cipher::NNNN).  BEWARE: ECB is inherently
31       insecure, if you are not sure go for Crypt::Mode::CBC!
