Re^2: Perl module for language portable encryption

thanks!

Hmm I'd love to use Crypt::CBC, or Crypt::* whatever, but looking at the source code, so far I don't really see them utilizing any of the underlying C functions, looks perl impelmented.

I'll keep digging through some of these, I may be missing it.

An algorithm is language agnostic. That is to say that any encryption algorithm should operate the same regardless of wheter it was implemented in Perl, C, COBOL, Fortran, Lisp, etc... So, let's say that you choose DES. There's a DES module for Perl, and I'm sure with a bit of searching, you can find a C implementation of it. You can write your respective programs around those two libraries; your Perl program around the Perl module, and the C program around the C library. Easy, peasy, Japanese-y. thor `Feel the white light, the light within Be your own disciple, fan the sparks of will For all of us waiting, your kingdom will come`	[reply]
