NAME
       Crypt::Mode::ECB - Block cipher mode ECB [Electronic codebook]

SYNOPSIS
          use Crypt::Mode::ECB;
          my $m = Crypt::Mode::ECB->new('AES');

          #(en|de)crypt at once
          my $ciphertext = $m->encrypt($plaintext, $key);
          my $plaintext = $m->decrypt($ciphertext, $key);

          #encrypt more chunks
          $m->start_encrypt($key);
          my $ciphertext = $m->add('some data');
          $ciphertext .= $m->add('more data');
          $ciphertext .= $m->finish;

          #decrypt more chunks
          $m->start_decrypt($key);
          my $plaintext = $m->add($some_ciphertext);
          $plaintext .= $m->add($more_ciphertext);
          $plaintext .= $m->finish;

DESCRIPTION
       This module implements ECB cipher mode. NOTE: it works only with
       ciphers from CryptX (Crypt::Cipher::NNNN).  BEWARE: ECB is inherently
       insecure, if you are not sure go for Crypt::Mode::CBC!

METHODS
   new
        my $m = Crypt::Mode::ECB->new($name);
        #or
        my $m = Crypt::Mode::ECB->new($name, $padding);
        #or
        my $m = Crypt::Mode::ECB->new($name, $padding, $cipher_rounds);

        # $name ....... one of 'AES', 'Anubis', 'Blowfish', 'CAST5', 'Camellia', 'DES', 'DES_EDE',
        #               'KASUMI', 'Khazad', 'MULTI2', 'Noekeon', 'RC2', 'RC5', 'RC6',
        #               'SAFERP', 'SAFER_K128', 'SAFER_K64', 'SAFER_SK128', 'SAFER_SK64',
        #               'SEED', 'Skipjack', 'Twofish', 'XTEA', 'IDEA', 'Serpent'
        #               simply any <NAME> for which there exists Crypt::Cipher::<NAME>
        # $padding .... 0 no padding (plaintext size has to be multiple of block length)
        #               1 PKCS5 padding, Crypt::CBC's "standard" - DEFAULT
        #               2 Crypt::CBC's "oneandzeroes"
        #               3 ANSI X.923 padding
        #               4 zero padding
        #               5 zero padding (+a block of zeros if the output length is divisible by the blocksize)
        # $cipher_rounds ... optional num of rounds for given cipher

   encrypt
          my $ciphertext = $m->encrypt($plaintext, $key);

   decrypt
          my $plaintext = $m->decrypt($ciphertext, $key);

   start_encrypt
          $m->start_encrypt($key);

   start_decrypt
          $m->start_decrypt($key);

   add
          # in encrypt mode
          my $plaintext = $m->add($ciphertext);

          # in decrypt mode
          my $ciphertext = $m->add($plaintext);

   finish
          #encrypt more chunks
          $m->start_encrypt($key);
          my $ciphertext = '';
          $ciphertext .= $m->add('some data');
          $ciphertext .= $m->add('more data');
          $ciphertext .= $m->finish;

          #decrypt more chunks
          $m->start_decrypt($key);
          my $plaintext = '';
          $plaintext .= $m->add($some_ciphertext);
          $plaintext .= $m->add($more_ciphertext);
          $plaintext .= $m->finish;
