The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Crypt::Rijndael::PP
DSLIP: cdpOp
description: Pure Perl Implementation of the AES Cipher
userid: DRZIGMAN (Robert Stone)
chapterid: 14 (Security_and_Encryption)
communities:
Houston Perl Mongers
similar:
Crypt::Rijndael_PP Crypt::Rijndael Crypt::Rijndael::MySQL
Crypt::Cipher::AES
rationale:
Crypt::Rijndael::PP is a pure perl implementation of the AES Cipher
(Rijndael, but with the restrictions on blocksize and keysize that
the NIST has published for AES).
The long term plan is to introduce this PP module initially as a
proof of concept (and demonstration of the AES logic/implementation)
and continue to refactor it to where it could stand alone as a
Crypt::CBC compatible implementation of AES in Pure Perl. Then,
similar to how there are PP and XS implementations of JSON,
Crypt::Rijndael will become Crypt::Rijndael::XS and then
Crypt::Rijndael::Any will provide users with a single interface for
PP or XS implementations. Needless to say this process will take
place over time, with many trial releases and input from consumers.
Especially given the history of platform dependent issues with XS
modules, the ability to offer a slower but fully functional API
compliant drop in replacement as PP should enable users to ensure
they are always able to make use of SOMETHING with Crypt::CBC.
Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions or
concerns and I'd be happy to discuss them.
