NAME

Crypt::AuthEnc::EAX − Authenticated encryption in EAX mode

SYNOPSIS

### OO interface
use Crypt::AuthEnc::EAX;
# encrypt and authenticate
my $ae = Crypt::AuthEnc::EAX−>new("AES", $key, $iv);
$ae−>adata_add('additional_authenticated_data1');
$ae−>adata_add('additional_authenticated_data2');
my $ct = $ae−>encrypt_add('data1');
$ct .= $ae−>encrypt_add('data2');
$ct .= $ae−>encrypt_add('data3');
my $tag = $ae−>encrypt_done();
# decrypt and verify
my $ae = Crypt::AuthEnc::EAX−>new("AES", $key, $iv);
$ae−>adata_add('additional_authenticated_data1');
$ae−>adata_add('additional_authenticated_data2');
my $pt = $ae−>decrypt_add('ciphertext1');
$pt .= $ae−>decrypt_add('ciphertext2');
$pt .= $ae−>decrypt_add('ciphertext3');
my $tag = $ae−>decrypt_done();
die "decrypt failed" unless $tag eq $expected_tag;
#or
my $result = $ae−>decrypt_done($expected_tag); # 0 or 1
### functional interface
use Crypt::AuthEnc::EAX qw(eax_encrypt_authenticate eax_decrypt_verify);
my ($ciphertext, $tag) = eax_encrypt_authenticate('AES', $key, $iv, $adata, $plaintext);
my $plaintext = eax_decrypt_verify('AES', $key, $iv, $adata, $ciphertext, $tag);

DESCRIPTION

EAX is a mode that requires a cipher, CTR and OMAC support and provides encryption and authentication. It is initialized with a random IV that can be shared publicly, additional authenticated data which can be fixed and public, and a random secret symmetric key.

EXPORT

Nothing is exported by default.

You can export selected functions:

use Crypt::AuthEnc::EAX qw(eax_encrypt_authenticate eax_decrypt_verify);

FUNCTIONS

eax_encrypt_authenticate

my ($ciphertext, $tag) = eax_encrypt_authenticate($cipher, $key, $iv, $adata, $plaintext);
# $cipher .. 'AES' or name of any other cipher with 16−byte block len
# $key ..... AES key of proper length (128/192/256bits)
# $iv ...... unique initialization vector (no need to keep it secret)
# $adata ... additional authenticated data

eax_decrypt_verify

my $plaintext = eax_decrypt_verify($cipher, $key, $iv, $adata, $ciphertext, $tag);
# on error returns undef

METHODS

new

my $ae = Crypt::AuthEnc::EAX−>new($cipher, $key, $iv);
#or
my $ae = Crypt::AuthEnc::EAX−>new($cipher, $key, $iv, $adata);
# $cipher .. 'AES' or name of any other cipher with 16−byte block len
# $key ..... AES key of proper length (128/192/256bits)
# $iv ...... unique initialization vector (no need to keep it secret)
# $adata ... additional authenticated data (optional)

adata_add

$ae−>adata_add($adata); # can be called multiple times

encrypt_add

$ciphertext = $ae−>encrypt_add($data); # can be called multiple times

encrypt_done

$tag = $ae−>encrypt_done(); # returns $tag value

decrypt_add

$plaintext = $ae−>decrypt_add($ciphertext); # can be called multiple times

decrypt_done

my $tag = $ae−>decrypt_done; # returns $tag value
#or
my $result = $ae−>decrypt_done($tag); # returns 1 (success) or 0 (failure)

clone

my $ae_new = $ae−>clone;
