[ Top ] ### Class Methods ### constructor Crypt_TripleDES [line 247]
`Crypt_TripleDES Crypt_TripleDES( [optional $mode = CRYPT_DES_MODE_CBC])`
Default Constructor. Determines whether or not the mcrypt extension should be used. $mode should only, at present, be CRYPT_DES_MODE_ECB or CRYPT_DES_MODE_CBC. If not explictly set, CRYPT_DES_MODE_CBC will be used. #### Tags:

#### Parameters:
optional | $mode | Integer $mode

`void decrypt( String $ciphertext)`
Decrypts a message. #### Tags:

[ Top ] ### method enableContinuousBuffer [line 876]
`void enableContinuousBuffer( )`
Treat consecutive "packets" as if they are a continuous buffer. Say you have a 16-byte plaintext $plaintext. Using the default behavior, the two following code snippets will yield different outputs: echo $des->encrypt(substr($plaintext, 0, 8)); echo $des->encrypt(substr($plaintext, 8, 8)); echo $des->encrypt($plaintext); The solution is to enable the continuous buffer. Although this will resolve the above discrepancy, it creates another, as demonstrated with the following: $des->encrypt(substr($plaintext, 0, 8)); echo $des->decrypt($des->encrypt(substr($plaintext, 8, 8))); echo $des->decrypt($des->encrypt(substr($plaintext, 8, 8))); With the continuous buffer disabled, these would yield the same output. With it enabled, they yield different outputs. The reason is due to the fact that the initialization vector's change after every encryption / decryption round when the continuous buffer is enabled. When it's disabled, they remain constant. Put another way, when the continuous buffer is enabled, the state of the Crypt_DES() object changes after each encryption / decryption round, whereas otherwise, it'd remain constant. For this reason, it's recommended that continuous buffers not be used. They do offer better security and are, in fact, sometimes required (SSH uses them), however, they are also less intuitive and more likely to cause you problems. #### Tags:

[ Top ] ### method enablePadding [line 921]
`void enablePadding( )`
Pad "packets". DES works by encrypting eight bytes at a time. If you ever need to encrypt or decrypt something that's not a multiple of eight, it becomes necessary to pad the input so that it's length is a multiple of eight. Padding is enabled by default. Sometimes, however, it is undesirable to pad strings. Such is the case in SSH1, where "packets" are padded with random bytes before being encrypted. Unpad these packets and you risk stripping away characters that shouldn't be stripped away. (SSH knows how many bytes are added because the length is transmitted separately) #### Tags:

[ Top ] ### method encrypt [line 430]
`void encrypt( String $plaintext)`
Encrypts a message. #### Tags:
access: | public
#### Parameters:
String | $plaintext |
[ Top ] ### method setIV [line 375]
`void setIV( String $iv)`
Sets the initialization vector. (optional) SetIV is not required when CRYPT_DES_MODE_ECB is being used. If not explictly set, it'll be assumed to be all zero's. #### Tags:
access: | public
#### Parameters:
String | $iv |
[ Top ] ### method setKey [line 344]
`void setKey( String $key)`
Sets the key. Keys can be of any length. Triple DES, itself, can use 128-bit (eg. strlen($key) == 16) or 192-bit (eg. strlen($key) == 24) keys. This function pads and truncates $key as appropriate. DES also requires that every eighth bit be a parity bit, however, we'll ignore that. If the key is not explicitly set, it'll be assumed to be all zero's. #### Tags:

#### Parameters:
String | $key |
