Crypt::DES_EDE3(3)    User Contributed Perl Documentation   Crypt::DES_EDE3(3)

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

SYNOPSIS
	   use Crypt::DES_EDE3;
	   my $ede3 = Crypt::DES_EDE3->new($key);
	   $ede3->encrypt($block);

DESCRIPTION
       Crypt::DES_EDE3 implements DES-EDE3 encryption. This is triple-DES
       encryption where an encrypt operation is encrypt-decrypt-encrypt, and
       decrypt is decrypt-encrypt-decrypt. This implementation uses Crypt::DES
       to do its dirty DES work, and simply provides a wrapper around that
       module: setting up the individual DES ciphers, initializing the keys,
       and performing the encryption/decryption steps.

       DES-EDE3 encryption requires a key size of 24 bytes.

       You're probably best off not using this module directly, as the encrypt
       and decrypt methods expect 8-octet blocks. You might want to use the
       module in conjunction with Crypt::CBC, for example. This would be
       DES-EDE3-CBC, or triple-DES in outer CBC mode.

USAGE
   $ede3 = Crypt::DES_EDE3->new($key)
       Creates a new Crypt::DES_EDE3 object (really, a collection of three DES
       ciphers), and initializes each cipher with part of $key, which should
       be at least 24 bytes. If it's longer than 24 bytes, the extra bytes
       will be ignored.

       Returns the new object.

   $ede3->encrypt($block)
       Encrypts an 8-byte block of data $block using the three DES ciphers in
       an encrypt-decrypt-encrypt operation.

       Returns the encrypted block.

   $ede3->decrypt($block)
       Decrypts an 8-byte block of data $block using the three DES ciphers in
       a decrypt-encrypt-decrypt operation.

       Returns the decrypted block.

   $ede3->blocksize
       Returns the block size (8).

   $ede3->keysize
       Returns the key size (24).
