AES Encrypt String (utf-8 byte representation) and return Base64

See more Encryption Examples

Demonstrates how to AES encrypt the utf-8 byte representation of a string and return in base64 format. Swift

    // -------------------------------------------------------------------
    // Now let's do the reverse...
    // 

    // We start with a string that is the binary encrypted data, base64 encoded, and then URL encoded.

    // We'll use the same crypt object.  If using a new instance of the crypt object,
    // make sure *all* settings are identical:  the algorithm, cipher mode, key length, charset, encoding mode, IV, and secret key.

    // Decode from URL...
    crypt.cryptAlgorithm = "none"
