This module supports the following methods: =over =item B Initializes the internal states of Rabbit =item B Encrypts the data stream B<$data> =item B Decrypts the data stream B<$data> B is the same as B =item B Returns the size (in bytes) of the key used (16, in this case) =back =head1 CAVEAT The internal states of Rabbit are updated every time B or B are called. And since encryption/decryption depends on the internal states, a plaintext encrypted with a call to B will not decrypt to the original message by just a call to B. The proper way to decrypt a ciphertext is to re-initialize the internal states (by calling B) first before calling B. =head1 BUG For the sake of simplicity, the C implementation encrypts and decrypts data in multiples of 16 bytes. If the last block of data is not a multiple of 16 bytes, it is padded with null characters before encryption. The resulting ciphertext is then truncated to the original message length before being output. An undesirable consequence of this is that encryption/decryption always starts at multiples of 16 bytes of the pseudorandom data stream produced by Rabbit. Improvements are most welcome.
