(PowerShell) Example for both AES-128 and ChaCha20 to Encrypt Binary Data

Demonstrates the use of the new EncryptBd and DecryptBd methods introduced in Chilkat v9.5.0.67 to encrypt/decrypt binary bytes.

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

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

# Load a small JPG file to be encrypted/decrypted.
$jpgBytes = New-Object Chilkat.BinData
$success = $jpgBytes.LoadFile("qa_data/jpg/starfish.jpg")
if ($success -ne $true) {
    $("Failed to load JPG file.")
    exit
}

# Show the unencrypted JPG bytes in Base64 format.
# (The "base64_mime" encoding was added in Chilkat v9.5.0.67.
# The "base64" encoding emits a single line of base64, whereas
# "base64_mime" will emit multi-line base64 as it would appear
# in MIME.)
$($jpgBytes.GetEncoded("base64_mime"))

# Sample base64_mime JPG data:

# To do chacha20 encryption, just change the settings:

$crypt.CryptAlgorithm = "chacha20"
$crypt.KeyLength = 256
# The initial count is the initial block counter for the chacha20 algorithm.
# It can be any integer, but must be set to the same when decrypting.

$success = $crypt.EncryptBd($jpgBytes)
# jpgBytes now contains chacha20 encrypted bytes.

$success = $crypt.DecryptBd($jpgBytes)
# jpgBytes is now restored back to the original unencrypted by bytes.

# Save the bytes to a file..
$success = $jpgBytes.WriteFile("qa_output/starfish.jpg")
