cryptString

Encrypts a string of characters with the key of the instance or any other key. 


            cryptString (str [, key
      ] [, useSalt ])

Parameters

str

The character string to encrypt.

key

The AES encryption key is encoded in base 64: 256 bits if key length is 32; 192 bits if the key length is 24; 128 bits if the key length is 16 or if no key is specified.

useSalt

Use a salt of the data to encrypt. True by default.

Return value

Returns the encrypted character string

Remarks

Encryption takes place according to the following method:
  • The unicode character string is transformed into a UTF-8 string.
  • A check character is added at the end.
  • This string is encrypted using the AES algorythm in Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode with a null initialization vector. If no key is provided as a parameter, the instance key is used.
  • The encrypted block is then converted into base 64.
Decryption is carried out using the decryptString function.
