NAME
DTOne::Crypt - Cryptographic Toolkit
SYNOPSIS
use DTOne::Crypt qw(encrypt_aes256gcm decrypt_aes256gcm);
my $encrypted = encrypt_aes256gcm($plaintext, $master_key);
my $decrypted = decrypt_aes256gcm($encrypted, $master_key);
DESCRIPTION
DTOne::Crypt provides a cryptographic toolkit intended to abstract
complexities in data interchange.
FUNCTIONS
DTone::Crypt implements the following functions, which can be imported
individually:
encrypt_aes256gcm
my $encrypted = encrypt_aes256gcm($plaintext, $master_key);
Encrypt plaintext value using AES-256 GCM to a base64 encoded string
containing the salt, initialization vector (IV), ciphertext, and tag.
decrypt_aes256gcm
my $decrypted = decrypt_aes256gcm($encrypted, $master_key);
Decrypt a composite base64 encoded string containing the salt, IV,
ciphertext, and tag back to its original plaintext value.
CAVEATS
Performance
Random byte generation on Linux might run slow over time unless
haveged(8) is running. In this scenario, the streaming facility of
aes-gcm will be more memory efficient.
