Neither is the module that was posted. What's your point?	[reply]

Let me explain a little background. In an embedded device exists perl as a means for reliable memory management and possibility to fix bugs remotely. As a "security" (against reverse engineering) the policy is only to run from internal mem. There are three blocks (1536 bytes) available that I try to use for encrypting a database (tied hash) on external mem as a more real means of security. SHA is available because "auth the updates". Blowfish alone is more than 3 blocks. Sorry about the missing blanks, but I forgot to "ungolf" this.	[reply]

Doesn't change the fact that SHA doesn't provide encryption. Any use of it is pure obfuscation, not encryption. I'm sure there are encryption algorithms designed for use in memory-tight systems.	[reply]
