NAME
Crypt::Mode::CTR - Block cipher mode CTR [Counter mode]
SYNOPSIS
use Crypt::Mode::CTR;
my $m = Crypt::Mode::CTR->new('AES');
#(en|de)crypt at once
my $ciphertext = $m->encrypt($plaintext, $key, $iv);
my $plaintext = $m->decrypt($ciphertext, $key, $iv);
#encrypt more chunks
$m->start_encrypt($key, $iv);
my $ciphertext = $m->add('some data');
$ciphertext .= $m->add('more data');
#decrypt more chunks
$m->start_decrypt($key, $iv);
my $plaintext = $m->add($some_ciphertext);
$plaintext .= $m->add($more_ciphertext);DESCRIPTION
This module implements CTR cipher mode. NOTE: it works only with ciphers from CryptX (Crypt::Cipher::NNNN).
