AES192_B64Mode

Encrypts or decrypts data represented as a base64 string using a specified mode. The key and initialization vector are represented as base64 strings.

VB6/VBA Syntax

nRet = AES192_B64Mode(strOutput, strInput, strKey, bEncrypt, strMode, strIV)

Parameters

strOutput

[out] String of sufficient length to receive the output.

strInput

[in] String containing the input data in base64.

strKey

[in] String containing the key in base64.

bEncrypt

[in] Boolean direction flag: set as True to encrypt or False to decrypt.

strMode

[in] String specifying the confidentiality mode:
"ECB" for Electronic Codebook mode,
"CBC" for Cipher Block Chaining mode,
"CFB" for 128-bit Cipher Feedback mode,
"OFB" for Output Feedback mode, or
"CTR" for Counter mode.

strIV

[in] String containing the initialization vector (IV), if required, in base64.

C/C++ Syntax

Returns (VB6/C)

Long: If successful, the return value is 0; otherwise it returns a non-zero error code.

.NET Equivalent

Aes192.Encrypt Method (String, String, Mode, String, EncodingBase)
Aes192.Decrypt Method (String, String, Mode, String, EncodingBase)

Remarks

The length of the input string strInput must represent a multiple of the block size (16 bytes) when decoded. If not, an error will be returned. The initialization vector string strIV must represent exactly 16 bytes unless strMode is ECB, in which case strIV is ignored (use ""). The key strKey must represent exactly 24 bytes, the required key length. The output string strOutput must be set up with at least the same number of characters as the input string before calling. The variables strOutput and strInput should be different.

Example

This example is the same data as for AES192_HexMode, except the data is in base64 format.

Dim nRet As Long
Dim strOutput As String
Dim strInput As String
Dim strKey As String
Dim strIV As String
Dim bEncrypt As Boolean
Dim sCorrect As String

strInput = "oKGio6SlpqeoqaqrrK2ur7CxsrO0tba3uLm6u7y" _
& "9vr/AwcLDxMXGx8jJysvMzc7P0NHS09TV1tfY2drb3N3e3w=="
strKey = "VuR6OMVZiXS8RpA9uikDSQapIUA2uKFb"
strIV = "jOgu776g2jxEaZ7X21G32Q=="
sCorrect = "c4I3A2393p3aM3T6GCYAxTjZGHoCmXJdCn/b6" _
& "ETXdXgVOeQBtVl8u/qDbv0i2ZjSFgXY3zQGIkF7kRRnteUaEg=="

' Set strOutput to be same length as strInput
strOutput = String(Len(strInput), " ")

Debug.Print "KY="; strKey
Debug.Print "IV="; strIV
Debug.Print "PT="; strInput
nRet = AES192_B64Mode(strOutput, strInput, strKey, ENCRYPT, "CBC", strIV)
Debug.Print "CT="; strOutput; nRet
Debug.Print "OK="; sCorrect

strInput = strOutput
nRet = AES192_B64Mode(strOutput, strInput, strKey, DECRYPT, "CBC", strIV)
Debug.Print "P'="; strOutput; nRet

This should result in output as follows:

KY=VuR6OMVZiXS8RpA9uikDSQapIUA2uKFb
IV=jOgu776g2jxEaZ7X21G32Q==
PT=oKGio6SlpqeoqaqrrK2ur7CxsrO0tba3uLm6u7y9vr/
