Cryptix Library for Perl (v1.1)
Description
This library contains a suite of cryptographic and mathematical modules for Perl. Many
of the more CPU intensive algorithms have
been implemented in C as Perl extensions.
Features
Perl extensions
All of the following have been implemented as Perl extensions in C:
Crypt::Blowfish module (Blowfish implementation by A.M. Kuchling).
Crypt::DES module (DES implementation by Eric Young).
Crypt::IDEA module.
Crypt::MD5 module (based on an implementation by Neil Winton and Data Security, Inc.)
Crypt::SHA module (based on an implementation by Uwe Hollerbach and based on code from NIST and Peter C. Gutmann)
Math::BigInteger module (based on code from Eric Young).
This module implements arbitrary length integers and some associated mathematical functions.
Math::PRSG - Pseudo random sequence generator
This module implements a 160 bit LFSR for use in generating pseudo random sequences.
Math::TrulyRandom module, based on code from Don Mitchell and Matt Blaze (AT&T).
This module generates "truly random" numbers, based on interrupt timing discrepancies.
Perl modules
All of the following have been implemented in Perl:
Crypt::CBC module
This module implements CBC block cipher mode.
Crypt::CFB module
This module implements CFB block cipher mode.
Crypt::CSRandomStream module
This module implements a cryptographically secure random stream. It implements the Stream::DataInput interface.
Crypt::DES3EDE module
This module implements triple DES (EDE mode).
Crypt::HashMD5
This module implements an MD5 hash, which derives from Crypt::MessageDigest.
Crypt::HashSHA
This module implements an SHA hash, which derives from Crypt::MessageDigest.
Crypt::MessageDigest
This module implements the Crypt::MessageDigest base class.
Crypt::RSAKey
This module implements the RSA key base class.
Crypt::RSAKeyGen
This module is used for the generation of RSA key pairs.
Crypt::RSAPublicKey
This module implements an RSA public key, which derives from Crypt::RSAKey.
Crypt::RSASecretKeyPair
This module implements an RSA public/secret key pair, which derives from Crypt::RSAKey.
Math::MPI module
This module implements the reading and writing of Philip Zimmermans MPI format large integers.
Math::PseudoRandomStream module
This module implements a pseudo random data stream. It implements the Stream::DataInput interface.
Math::Random module
This module contains a collection of various random number routines.
Math::TestPrime module
This module is used to test the primality of an instance of Math::BigInteger.
Stream::DataEncoding
Stream::DataInput
Stream::DataOutput
Stream::FileInput
Stream::FileOutput
Stream::Streamable
Stream::StringInput
Stream::StringOutput
