Tea.pm \- The Tiny Encryption Algorithm in Perl and JavaScript
.SH "SYNOPSIS"

Usage:
.PP
.Vb 7
\&        use Crypt::Tea;
\&        $key = 'PUFgob$*LKDF D)(F IDD&P?/';
\&        $ascii_ciphertext = &encrypt ($plaintext, $key);

.PP
In \s-1CGI\s0 scripts:
.PP
.Vb 3
\&        use Crypt::Tea;
\&        print &tea_in_javascript;  # now the browser can encrypt
\&        # and decrypt ! see CGI::Htauth.pm for examples ...

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This module implements \s-1TEA\s0, the Tiny Encryption Algorithm,
and some Modes of Use, in Perl and JavaScript.
.PP
The \f(CW$key\fR is a sufficiently longish string; at least 17 random 8\-bit
bytes for single encryption.
.PP
As of version 1.34, various Htauth-specific hook routines
have now been moved out into the \fICGI::Htauth.pm\fR module.

Provide an ascii text encoding of the binary argument.
If Tea.pm is not being invoked from a \s-1GCI\s0 script,
the ascii is split into lines of 72 characters.
.ie n .IP "\fIascii2binary\fR( $an_ascii_string );" 3

.PD
Returns an asciified binary signature of the argument.
.IP "\fItea_in_javascript\fR();" 3
.IX Item "tea_in_javascript();"
Returns a compatible implementation of \s-1TEA\s0 in JavaScript,
for use in \s-1CGI\s0 scripts to communicate with browsers.
