Crypt::Shark - Crypt::CBC compliant block cipher

Shark is 64-bit block cipher that accepts a 128-bit key.

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

Shark is 64-bit block cipher that accepts a 128-bit key. It was designed by Vincent Rijmen, Joan Daemen, Bart Preneel, Antoon Bosselaers, and Erik De Win.
This module supports the Crypt::CBC interface, with the following functions.
Returns the size (in bytes) of the block (8, in this case).
Returns the size (in bytes) of the key (16, in this case).
Encrypts 8 bytes of $data and returns the corresponding ciphertext.
Decrypts 8 bytes of $data and returns the corresponding plaintext.
