(Go) 56-bit DES Encryption, ECB, CBC modes

Demonstrates the older 56-bit DES encryption in ECB and CBC modes.

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

    crypt := chilkat.NewCrypt2()

    // Specify DES for the encryption algorithm:
    crypt.SetCryptAlgorithm("des")

    // CipherMode may be "ecb" or "cbc"
    crypt.SetCipherMode("cbc")

    // Keylength is 64 bits (56 bits + 8 parity bits)
    crypt.SetKeyLength(64)

    // 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.  DES has a block
    // size of 8 bytes, so encrypted output is always
    // a multiple of 8.
    crypt.SetPaddingScheme(0)

    // EncodingMode specifies the encoding of the output for
    // encryption, and the input for decryption.
    // It may be "hex", "url", "base64", or "quoted-printable".
    crypt.SetEncodingMode("hex")

    // An initialization vector is required if using CBC or CFB modes.
    // 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.
    ivHex := "0001020304050607"
    crypt.SetEncodedIV(ivHex,"hex")

    // The secret key must equal the size of the key.  For 
    // DES, the key must be 8 bytes (i.e. 64-bits).
    keyHex := "0001020304050607"
    crypt.SetEncodedKey(keyHex,"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).
    encStr := crypt.EncryptStringENC("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.")
    fmt.Println(*encStr)

    // Now decrypt:
    decStr := crypt.DecryptStringENC(*encStr)
    fmt.Println(*decStr)
