Crypt::Square - Crypt::CBC-compliant block cipher

use Crypt::Square;
$cipher = new Crypt::Square $key;
$ciphertext = $cipher->encrypt($plaintext);
$plaintext = $cipher->decrypt($ciphertext);

Square is a 128-bit block cipher that accepts a 128-bit key. Designed by Joan Daemen, Vincent Rijmen, and Lars Knudsen, Square is the predecessor of Rijndael, aka the Advanced Encryption Standard.
This module supports the Crypt::CBC interface, with the following functions.
Returns the size (in bytes) of the block (16, in this case).
Returns the size (in bytes) of the key (16, in this case).
Encrypts 16 bytes of $data and returns the corresponding ciphertext.
Decrypts 16 bytes of $data and returns the corresponding plaintext.

See Crypt::CBC for more examples using CBC mode. See also the "examples" and "t" directories for some more examples.

Crypt::Khazad, Crypt::Misty1, Crypt::Anubis, Crypt::Noekeon, Crypt::Skipjack, and Crypt::Camellia.

Note that this implementation has been rigged and tested only on the Intel platform, and thus, it could give wrong results for non-Intel processors.
