[new] p5-Crypt-Serpent-1.01

[Stephan A. Rickauer]

tested on i386. could someone test on amd64 and sparc64?

Thanks,
Stephan

Crypt::Serpent is a Perl implementation of the Serpent block cipher.
Serpent is a 128-bit block cipher, meaning that data is encrypted
and decrypted in 128-bit chunks. The key length can vary, but for
the purposes of the AES it is defined to be either 128, 192, or 256
bits. This block size and variable key length is standard among all
AES candidates and was one of the major design requirements specified
by NIST. The Serpent algorithm uses 32 rounds, or iterations of the
main algorithm.

A simple test is:

use strict;
use Crypt::Serpent;
my $key = "1234567890123456";
my $plaintext = $key;

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

print "Cipher:", $ciphertext, "\n";
print "Plain:", $plaintext, "\n";
