Crypt::OpenPGP::MDC 1.03

Crypt::OpenPGP::MDC is a MDC (modification detection code) packet.

SYNOPSIS

 use Crypt::OpenPGP::MDC;

 my $mdc = Crypt::OpenPGP::MDC->new( Data => 'foobar' );
 my $digest = $mdc->digest;
 my $serialized = $mdc->save;

 my $mdc = Crypt::OpenPGP::MDC->parse($buffer);
 my $digest = $mdc->digest;

Crypt::OpenPGP::MDC is a PGP MDC (modification detection code) packet. Such a packet is used alongside Encrypted-MDC data packets so that modifications to the ciphertext can be detected. The MDC packet contains a SHA-1 digest of the plaintext for comparison with the decrypted plaintext.

You generally will never need to construct a Crypt::OpenPGP::MDC packet yourself; usage is by the Crypt::OpenPGP::Ciphertext object.
