# The following requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.

# The "eda" encoding can be used anywhere within Chilkat.
# For example, with the Crypt2 API

crypt.CryptAlgorithm = "aes"
crypt.CipherMode = "cbc"
crypt.KeyLength = 256
crypt.EncodingMode = "eda"

ivHex = "000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F"

crypt.SetEncodedKey(keyHex,"hex")

encStr = crypt.EncryptStringENC("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.")
# The output is UN/EDIFACT syntax level A 
print(encStr)

# Now decrypt:
