Example for both AES-128 and ChaCha20 to Encrypt Binary Data

See more Encryption Examples

Demonstrates the use of the new EncryptBd and DecryptBd methods introduced in Chilkat v9.5.0.67 to encrypt/decrypt binary bytes.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.67 or greater.

C++

#include <CkBinData.h>
#include <CkCrypt2.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

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

    // Load a small JPG file to be encrypted/decrypted.
    CkBinData jpgBytes;
    success = jpgBytes.LoadFile("qa_data/jpg/starfish.jpg");
    if (success != true) {
        std::cout << "Failed to load JPG file." << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    // Show the unencrypted JPG bytes in Base64 format.
    // (The "base64_mime" encoding was added in Chilkat v9.5.0.67.
    // The "base64" encoding emits a single line of base64, whereas
    // "base64_mime" will emit multi-line base64 as it would appear
    // in MIME.)
    std::cout << jpgBytes.getEncoded("base64_mime") << "\r\n";

    // Sample base64_mime JPG data:
