PBES1 Password-Based Encryption (PBE)

See more Encryption Examples

Demonstrates how to implement password-based encryption according to the PKCS #5 v2.0: Password-Based Cryptography Standard (published by RSA Laboratories). This example uses PBES1, which ise based on the PBKDF1 function and an underlying block cipher such as RC2, DES, etc. Go

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

    crypt := chilkat.NewCrypt2()

    // Set properties for PBES1 encryption:

    crypt.SetCryptAlgorithm("pbes1")
    crypt.SetPbesPassword("mySecretPassword")

    // Set the underlying PBE algorithm (and key length):
    // For PBES1, the underlying algorithm must be either
    // 56-bit DES or 64-bit RC2 
    // (this is according to the PKCS#5 specifications at
    // http://www.rsa.com/rsalabs/node.asp?id=2127   )
    crypt.SetPbesAlgorithm("rc2")
    crypt.SetKeyLength(64)

    // The salt for PBKDF1 is always 8 bytes:
    crypt.SetEncodedSalt("0102030405060708","hex")

    // A higher iteration count makes the algorithm more
    // computationally expensive and therefore exhaustive
    // searches (for breaking the encryption) is more difficult:
    crypt.SetIterationCount(1024)

    // A hash algorithm needs to be set for PBES1:
    crypt.SetHashAlgorithm("sha1")

    // Indicate that the encrypted bytes should be returned
    // as a hex string:
    crypt.SetEncodingMode("hex")

    plainText := "To be encrypted."

    encryptedText := crypt.EncryptStringENC(plainText)

    fmt.Println(*encryptedText)

    // Now decrypt:
    decryptedText := crypt.DecryptStringENC(*encryptedText)

    fmt.Println(*decryptedText)

    crypt.DisposeCrypt2()
