MAC(3)

NAME

       Crypt::RIPEMD160::MAC - Perl extension for RIPEMD-160 MAC function

SYNOPSIS

           use Crypt::RIPEMD160::MAC;

           $key = "This is the secret key";

           $mac = new Crypt::RIPEMD160::MAC($key);

           $mac->reset();

           $mac->add(LIST);
           $mac->addfile(HANDLE);

           $digest = $mac->mac();
           $string = $mac->hexmac();

DESCRIPTION

       The Crypt::RIPEMD160 module allows you to use the RIPEMD160 Message
       Digest algorithm from within Perl programs.

EXAMPLES

           use Crypt::RIPEMD160;

           $ripemd160 = new Crypt::RIPEMD160;
           $ripemd160->add('foo', 'bar');
           $ripemd160->add('baz');
           $digest = $ripemd160->digest();

           print("Digest is " . unpack("H*", $digest) . "\n");

       The above example would print out the message

           Digest is f137cb536c05ec2bc97e73327937b6e81d3a4cc9

       provided that the implementation is working correctly.
