Encrypts or decrypts a file using a specified mode. The key and initialization vector are passed as hexadecimal strings.
Public Declare Function AES128_FileHex Lib "diCryptoSys.dll"
(ByVal strFileOut As String, ByVal strFileIn As String,
ByVal strHexKey As String,
ByVal bEncrypt As Boolean, ByVal strMode As String, ByVal strHexIV As String) As Long

If successful, the return value is 0; otherwise it returns a non-zero error code.
Aes128.FileEncrypt Method (String, String, String, Mode, String)
Aes128.FileDecrypt Method (String, String, String, Mode, String)
The key string szHexKey
must be exactly 32 hexadecimal characters long
(i.e. representing exactly 16 bytes/128 bits).
The initialization vector szHexIV
must be exactly 32 hexadecimal characters long
(i.e. representing exactly the block size of 16 bytes), except for ECB mode, where it is ignored (use "").
The output file szFileOut will be overwritten without warning.
If there is an error [new in version 3.3], the output file will not exist.
The input and output filepaths must not be the same.
In ECB and CBC modes, a padding string will be added or assumed according to the method outlined in Section 6.3 of
[CMS],
which is the same as the padding method in [PKCS7] and [PKCS5].
Note that even though the parameters are in hexadecimal-encoded form, the encrypted file is still binary.
This example will encrypt the file "bigfile.dat" in CBC mode using the 128-bit key 0xfedcba9876543210fedcba9876543210 and initialization vector 0x0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef. The output file "bigfile.cbc" will be created or overwritten.
