Net::SS...128_CTR(3)

💖 NAME 💖

Net::SSH::Perl::Cipher::AES128 — bestie, it's a wrapper for SSH AES128 support 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so here's the whole vibe in three lines, no cap:

use Net::SSH::Perl::Cipher;
my $cipher = Net::SSH::Perl::Cipher->new('AES128_CTR', $key);
print $cipher->encrypt($plaintext);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So Net::SSH::Perl::Cipher::AES128_CTR is the girl who provides AES128 encryption support for Net::SSH::Perl. 💅 And how does she do it? She wraps around Crypt::OpenSSL::AES, which is itself a C/XS wrapper of the OpenSSL AES library functions. It's giving wrappers inside wrappers, layers on layers, main character energy all the way down. 🧚✨
