RC2 Encryption and Decryption

See more Encryption Examples

RC2 encryption. The Chilkat encryption component supports RC2 encryption in both ECB (Electronic Cookbook) and CBC (Cipher-Block Chaining) modes. The key size may range from 8 bits to 1024 bits. C#

//  This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
//  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Chilkat.Crypt2 crypt = new Chilkat.Crypt2();

//  Set the encryption algorithm = "rc2"	
crypt.CryptAlgorithm = "rc2";

//  CipherMode may be "ecb" or "cbc"
crypt.CipherMode = "cbc";

//  KeyLength may range from 8 bits to 1024 bits
crypt.KeyLength = 128;

//  RC2 also has an effective key length property
//  which can also range from 8 bits to 1024 bits:
crypt.Rc2EffectiveKeyLength = 128;

//  The padding scheme determines the contents of the bytes
//  that are added to pad the result to a multiple of the
//  encryption algorithm's block size.  RC2 has a block
//  size of 8 bytes, so encrypted output is always
//  a multiple of 8.
crypt.PaddingScheme = 0;

//  EncodingMode specifies the encoding of the output for
//  encryption, and the input for decryption.
//  It may be "hex", "url", "base64", or "quoted-printable".
crypt.EncodingMode = "hex";

//  An initialization vector is required if using CBC mode.
//  ECB mode does not use an IV.
//  The length of the IV is equal to the algorithm's block size.
//  It is NOT equal to the length of the key.
string ivHex = "0001020304050607";
crypt.SetEncodedIV(ivHex,"hex");

//  The secret key must equal the size of the key.
//  For 128-bit encryption, the binary secret key is 16 bytes.
string keyHex = "000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F101112131415161718191A1B1C1D1E1F";
crypt.SetEncodedKey(keyHex,"hex");

//  Encrypt a string...
//  The input string is 44 ANSI characters (i.e. 44 bytes), so
//  the output should be 48 bytes (a multiple of 8).
//  Because the output is a hex string, it should
//  be 96 characters long (2 chars per byte).
string encStr = crypt.EncryptStringENC("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.");
Debug.WriteLine(encStr);

//  Now decrypt:
string decStr = crypt.DecryptStringENC(encStr);
Debug.WriteLine(decStr);
