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

loCrypt = CreateObject('Chilkat.Crypt2')

loCrypt.CryptAlgorithm = "aes"

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

*  KeyLength may be 128, 192, 256
loCrypt.KeyLength = 256

*  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.  AES has a block
*  size of 16 bytes, so encrypted output is always
*  a multiple of 16.
loCrypt.PaddingScheme = 0

*  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 = "000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F"
loCrypt.SetEncodedIV(lcIvHex,"hex")

*  The secret key must equal the size of the key.  For
*  256-bit encryption, the binary secret key is 32 bytes.
*  For 128-bit encryption, the binary secret key is 16 bytes.
lcKeyHex = "000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F101112131415161718191A1B1C1D1E1F"
loCrypt.SetEncodedKey(lcKeyHex,"hex")

*  Encrypt a file, producing the .aes as output.
*  The input file is unchanged, the output .aes contains the encrypted
*  contents of the input file.

*  Note: The .aes output file has no file format.  It is simply a stream
*  of bytes that resembles random binary data.
lcInFile = "/Users/chilkat/testData/pdf/sample.pdf"
lcOutFile = "/Users/chilkat/testData/p7m/sample.pdf.aes"
lnSuccess = loCrypt.CkEncryptFile(lcInFile,lcOutFile)
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loCrypt.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loCrypt
    CANCEL
ENDIF

*  For demonstration purposes, a different instance of the object will be used
*  for decryption.
loDecrypt = CreateObject('Chilkat.Crypt2')

*  All settings must match to be able to decrypt:

loDecrypt.CipherMode = "cbc"
loDecrypt.KeyLength = 256
loDecrypt.PaddingScheme = 0
loDecrypt.SetEncodedIV(lcIvHex,"hex")
loDecrypt.SetEncodedKey(lcKeyHex,"hex")

*  Decrypt the .aes
lcInFile = "/Users/chilkat/testData/p7m/sample.pdf.aes"
