NAME

Crypt::Sodium::Nitrate - Don't let your sodium levels get too high!

DESCRIPTION

A thin wrapper around libsodium, exposing only the minimum necessary to use the sodium secretbox.

This module was derived from code in Crypt::NaCl::Sodium, particularly Crypt::NaCl::Sodium::secretbox. Head over there for a more extensive interface to libsodium!

The main difference is that Crypt::Sodium::Nitrate does not use protected memory to store the encrypted/decrypted value; everything is done in Perl-allocated memory.

FUNCTIONS

decrypt($ciphertext, $nonce, $key)

Throws an exception if $ciphertext cannot be decrypted.

encrypt($plaintext, $nonce, $key)

Decrypts the value.

MACBYTES

Size of the MAC

KEYBYTES

Size of the key

NONCEBYTES
