RC2 Encryption and Decryption

See more Encryption Examples

RC2 encryption. The Chilkat encryption component supports RC2 encryption in both ECB (Electronic Cookbook) and CBC (Cipher-Block Chaining) modes. The key size may range from 8 bits to 1024 bits. Xbase++

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

//  Set the encryption algorithm = "rc2"

//  CipherMode may be "ecb" or "cbc"

//  KeyLength may range from 8 bits to 1024 bits

//  RC2 also has an effective key length property
//  which can also range from 8 bits to 1024 bits:
oCrypt:Rc2EffectiveKeyLength := 128

//  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.  RC2 has a block
//  size of 8 bytes, so encrypted output is always
//  a multiple of 8.

//  EncodingMode specifies the encoding of the output for
//  encryption, and the input for decryption.
//  It may be "hex", "url", "base64", or "quoted-printable".
oCrypt:EncodingMode := "hex"

//  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.

//  Encrypt a string...
//  The input string is 44 ANSI characters (i.e. 44 bytes), so

//  be 96 characters long (2 chars per byte).
