Monks,
I've been working with digests (thanks to DigitalKitty) and a few other encryption algorithms. One that I stumbled over is Crypt::CBC. I want a readable "encypted" value so that I can decrypt it at a later point of time.
The (very simple) code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use Crypt::CBC;
my $cipher = Crypt::CBC->new( -key => 'test',
-salt => 1,
);
my $ciphertext = $cipher->encrypt("encrypt_me");
# my $plaintext = $cipher->decrypt($ciphertext);
$print_this=unpack("H16", $ciphertext);
#so far, so good
$packed_stuff=pack("H16", $print_this);
print $packed_stuff."\n";
Isn't $packed_stuff be equal to $ciphertext?
If not, having $print_this, how do I get $ciphertext?
Any help would do...

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
