AES and CHACHA20 Encrypt/Decrypt Text

Demonstrates the use of the new EncryptSb and DecryptSb methods introduced in Chilkat v9.5.0.67 to encrypt/decrypt the contents of StringBuilder objects.

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

C++

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

    // First build a string to be encrypted
    CkStringBuilder sb;
    int i = 1;
    while (i < 10) {
        sb.AppendInt(i);
        sb.Append(" the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.\r\n");
        i = i + 1;
    }

    std::cout << sb.getAsString() << "\r\n";

    // The string to be encrypted looks like this:

    // 1 the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
    // 2 the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
    // 3 the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
    // 4 the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
    // 5 the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
    // 6 the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
    // ...
