Digest::GOST - Perl interface to the GOST R 34.11-94 digest algorithm


NAME

Digest::GOST - Perl interface to the GOST R 34.11-94 digest algorithm


SYNOPSIS

    # Functional interface
    use Digest::GOST qw(gost gost_hex gost_base64);
    $digest = gost($data);
    $digest = gost_hex($data);
    $digest = gost_base64($data);
    # Object-oriented interface
    use Digest::GOST;
    $ctx = Digest::GOST->new(256);
    $ctx->add($data);
    $ctx->addfile(*FILE);
    $digest = $ctx->digest;
    $digest = $ctx->hexdigest;
    $digest = $ctx->b64digest;


DESCRIPTION

The Digest::GOST module provides an interface to the GOST R 34.11-94 message digest algorithm.

This interface follows the conventions set forth by the Digest module.

This module uses the default ``test'' parameters. To use the CryptoPro parameters, use Digest::GOST::CryptoPro.


FUNCTIONS

The following functions are provided by the Digest::GOST module. None of these functions are exported by default.

gost($data, ...)

Logically joins the arguments into a single string, and returns its GOST digest encoded as a binary string.

gost_hex($data, ...)

Logically joins the arguments into a single string, and returns its GOST digest encoded as a hexadecimal string.

gost_base64($data, ...)

Logically joins the arguments into a single string, and returns its GOST digest encoded as a Base64 string, without any trailing padding.


METHODS

The object-oriented interface to Digest::GOST is identical to that described by Digest.
