NAME

       Crypt::Misc - miscellaneous functions related to (or used by) CryptX

SYNOPSIS

       This module contains a collection of mostly unsorted functions loosely-related to CryptX
       distribution but not implementing cryptography.

       Most of them are also available in other perl modules but once you utilize CryptX you
       might avoid dependencies on other modules by using functions from Crypt::Misc.

DESCRIPTION

        use Crypt::Misc ':all';

        # Base64 and Base64/URL-safe functions
        $base64    = encode_b64($rawbytes);
        $rawbytes  = decode_b64($base64);
        $base64url = encode_b64u($encode_b64u);
        $rawbytes  = decode_b64u($base64url);

        # read/write file
        $rawdata = read_rawfile($filename);
        write_rawfile($filename, $rawdata);

        # convert PEM/DER
        $der_data = pem_to_der($pem_data);
        $pem_data = der_to_pem($der_data);

         # others
         die "mismatch" unless slow_eq($str1, $str2);

FUNCTIONS

       By default, Crypt::Misc doesn't import any function. You can import individual functions
       like this:

        use Crypt::Misc qw(read_rawfile);

       Or import all available functions:

        use Crypt::Misc ':all';

   read_rawfile
       Since: 0.029

        $rawdata = read_rawfile($filename);

       Read file $filename into a scalar as a binary data (without decoding/transformation).

   write_rawfile
       Since: 0.029

        write_rawfile($filename, $rawdata);

       Write $rawdata to file $filename as binary data.

   slow_eq
       Since: 0.029

        if (slow_eq($data1, $data2)) { ... }

       Constant time compare (to avoid timing side-channel).

   pem_to_der
       Since: 0.029

         $der_data = pem_to_der($pem_data);
         #or
         $der_data = pem_to_der($pem_data, $password);

       Convert PEM to DER representation. Supports also password protected PEM data.

   der_to_pem
       Since: 0.029

         $pem_data = der_to_pem($der_data, $header_name);
         #or
         $pem_data = der_to_pem($der_data, $header_name, $password);
         #or
         $pem_data = der_to_pem($der_data, $header_name, $passord, $cipher_name);

         # $header_name e.g. "PUBLIC KEY", "RSA PRIVATE KEY" ...
         # $cipher_name e.g. "DES-EDE3-CBC", "AES-256-CBC" (DEFAULT) ...

       Convert DER to PEM representation. Supports also password protected PEM data.

        my $uuid = random_v4uuid();

       Returns cryptographically strong Version 4 random UUID:
       "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-Yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" where "x" is any hexadecimal digit and "Y" is one
       of 8, 9, A, B (1000, 1001, 1010, 1011) e.g. "f47ac10b-58cc-4372-a567-0e02b2c3d479".

       Checks the given $uuid string whether it matches V4 UUID format and returns 0 (mismatch)
       or 1 (match).
