It was implemented in tamper-resistant hardware and its structure had been classified since its introduction in 1993. Skipjack was unclassified on June 24, 1998. Skipjack is an 80-bit key, 64-bit block cipher. This module supports the Crypt::CBC interface, with the following functions. =head2 Functions =over =item B Returns the size (in bytes) of the block (8, in this case). =item B Returns the size (in bytes) of the key (10, in this case). =item B Encrypts 8 bytes of $data and returns the corresponding ciphertext. =item B Decrypts 8 bytes of $data and returns the corresponding plaintext. =back =head1 EXAMPLE 1 #!/usr/local/bin/perl use diagnostics; use strict; use warnings; use Crypt::Skipjack; # key must be 10 bytes long my $key = "0123456789"; my $cipher = new Crypt::Skipjack $key; print "blocksize = ", $cipher->blocksize, " bytes \n"; print "keysize = ", $cipher->keysize, " bytes \n"; # block must be 8 bytes long my $plaintext1 = "abcdef01"; my $ciphertext = $cipher->encrypt($plaintext1); my $plaintext2 = $cipher->decrypt($ciphertext); print "Decryption OK\n" if ($plaintext1 eq $plaintext2); =head1 EXAMPLE 2 #!/usr/local/bin/perl use diagnostics; use strict; use warnings; use Crypt::CBC; # CBC automatically loads Skipjack for us # when using Crypt::CBC, key may be of ANY length my $key = "0123456789abcdef"; # IV must be exactly 8 bytes long my $IV = pack "H16", 0; my $cipher = Crypt::CBC->new({'key' => $key, 'cipher' => 'Skipjack', 'iv' => $IV, 'regenerate_key' => 1, 'padding' => 'standard', 'prepend_iv' => 0 }); # when using Crypt::CBC, plaintext may be of ANY length my $plaintext1 = "This is a test"; my $ciphertext = $cipher->encrypt($plaintext1); my $plaintext2 = $cipher->decrypt($ciphertext); print "Decryption OK\n" if ($plaintext1 eq $plaintext2); =head1 MORE EXAMPLES See B for more examples using CBC mode.
