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. Visual FoxPro

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

loCrypt = CreateObject('Chilkat.Crypt2')

* Set the encryption algorithm = "rc2"	
loCrypt.CryptAlgorithm = "rc2"

* CipherMode may be "ecb" or "cbc"
loCrypt.CipherMode = "cbc"

* KeyLength may range from 8 bits to 1024 bits
loCrypt.KeyLength = 128

* RC2 also has an effective key length property
* which can also range from 8 bits to 1024 bits:
loCrypt.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.
loCrypt.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".
loCrypt.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.
lcIvHex = "0001020304050607"
loCrypt.SetEncodedIV(lcIvHex,"hex")

* The secret key must equal the size of the key.
* For 128-bit encryption, the binary secret key is 16 bytes.
lcKeyHex = "000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F101112131415161718191A1B1C1D1E1F"
loCrypt.SetEncodedKey(lcKeyHex,"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).
lcEncStr = loCrypt.EncryptStringENC("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.")
? lcEncStr

* Now decrypt:
lcDecStr = loCrypt.DecryptStringENC(lcEncStr)
? lcDecStr
