# The security/p5-Tie-EncryptedHash port

## p5-Tie-EncryptedHash-1.24p0 – hashes with encrypting fields

## Description

    Tie::EncryptedHash augments Perl hash semantics to build secure, encrypting
    containers of data. Tie::EncryptedHash introduces special hash fields that
    are coupled with encrypt/decrypt routines to encrypt assignments at STORE()
    and decrypt retrievals at FETCH(). By design, encrypting fields are
    associated with keys that begin in single underscore. The remaining
    keyspace is used for accessing normal hash fields, which are retained
    without modification.

    While the password is set, a Tie::EncryptedHash behaves exactly like a
    standard Perl hash. This is its transparent mode of access. Encrypting
    and normal fields are identical in this mode. When password is deleted,
    encrypting fields are accessible only as ciphertext. This is
    Tie::EncryptedHash's opaque mode of access, optimized for serialization.

    Encryption is done with Crypt::CBC which encrypts in the cipher block
    chaining mode with Blowfish, DES.  Tie::EncryptedHash uses Blowfish
    by default, but can be instructed to employ any cipher supported by
    Crypt::CBC.
