Crypt::Chimera - An implementation of the Chimera key exchange protocol


NAME

Crypt::Chimera - An implementation of the Chimera key exchange protocol


DESCRIPTION

The Chimera key exchange protocol generates a shared key between two parties. The protocol was shown to be INSECURE by Frank Niedermeyer and Werner Schindler of the Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI), Bonn, Germany. This module is therefore released for purely academic curiosity.

Anyone interested in more details should read the source code and the examples in the eg/ subdirectory.
