CDR: Anyone know easy symmetric cypher for perl?
I need a perl module or a function that would perform symmetric key encryption/decryption. I need it to encode secret information in URLs. Thanks - Igor.

You can use Crypt::Blowfish, Crypt::DES, Crypt::IDEA, Crypt::TripleDES, Crypt::Twofish2, or Crypt::Solitaire (hehe). You probably want to choose one that works in conjunction with Crypt::CBC. All of these are available at www.cpan.org -- Riad Wahby rsw@mit.edu MIT VI-2/A 2002 5105
I wrote the RC4 algorithm in VBScript, and I think I even tried it in Perl (but it wasn't so important that I'd actually try to get something working - I still don't know much about Perl). Look for "cyphersaber" on the web for a description of RC4 - it shouldn't take you more than an hour.

I thought you were brighter than that Igor. http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=module&query=encrypt -- A quote from Petro's Archives: ********************************************** Sometimes it is said that man can not be trusted with the government of himself.

Check out the "rsa in N lines of perl" pages - there were also some short obfuscated RC4 and DES implementations. At 02:25 PM 10/18/00 -0400, Marcel Popescu wrote:
