4This module implements TEA, the Tiny Encryption Algorithm, and some
5Modes of Use based on CBC, compatibly in both Perl and JavaScript.
6This enables CGI scripts to communicate with browsers, as well
7as working as a normal private-key strong-encryption engine.
8
9Subroutines offer encryption, decryption & digest, and all cyphertext
10is ascii-encoded to prevent munging. Another routine returns JavaScript
11code with identical functions, and this can be used by CGIs to feed to
12a browser. A wrapper executable 'tea' is included for command-line use.

14Crypt::Tea_JS is the continuation of Crypt::Tea under another name.
15(Microsoft systems confused the old name with a different module
16Crypt::TEA and were unable to install both). The calling interface
17is identical. Since this change, Crypt::Tea_JS offers:
18 * since 2.13, the New Improved version of the Tea algorithm
19 is used, which provides even stronger encryption.
20 * implementation in C of some of the core routines, for improved
21 performance (at the server, if you're using it in a CGI context).
22 * since 2.23, it reverts to PurePerl if the C library is missing at
23 load-time, to make it easier for apps to bundle their whole stack.
