Encrypts or decrypts data represented as a hexadecimal string using a key represented in hexadecimal notation. The process is carried out in one step in Electronic Codebook (EBC) mode.
@deprecated use
BLF_HexMode
with strMode="ECB".
Public Declare Function BLF_Hex Lib "diCryptoSys.dll"
(ByVal strOutput As String, ByVal strInput As String, ByVal strKey As String,
ByVal bEncrypt As Boolean) As Long
nRet = BLF_Hex(strOutput, strInput, strKey, bEncrypt)
long __stdcall BLF_Hex(char *szOutput, const char *szInput, const char *szKey, int fEncrypt);
If successful, the return value is 0; otherwise it returns a non-zero error code.
Blowfish.Encrypt Method (String, String, Mode, String)
Blowfish.Decrypt Method (String, String, Mode, String)
with mode=Mode.ECB.
The length of the input string szInput must be a multiple of 16 hex characters long (i.e. representing a multiple of 8 bytes). If not, an error code will be returned.. The key szKey can be any even length between 2 and 112 hexadecimal characters. The output string szOutput must be set up with at least the same number of characters as the input string before calling. The variables szOutput and szInput should be different. Valid hexadecimal characters are [0-9A-Fa-f].
Dim nRet As Long
Dim strOutput As String
Dim strInput As String
Dim strKey As String
Dim sCorrect As String
strInput = "0123456789ABCDEF"
strKey = "FEDCBA9876543210"
sCorrect = "0ACEAB0FC6A0A28D"
' Set strOutput to be same length as strInput
strOutput = String(Len(strInput), " ")
Debug.Print "KY=" & strKey
Debug.Print "PT=" & strInput
' Encrypt in one-off process
nRet = BLF_Hex(strOutput, strInput, strKey, ENCRYPT)
Debug.Print "CT=" & strOutput
Debug.Print "OK=" & sCorrect
' Now decrypt back to plain text
strInput = strOutput
nRet = BLF_Hex(strOutput, strInput, strKey, DECRYPT)
Debug.Print "P'=" & strOutput
This should result in output as follows:
KY=FEDCBA9876543210 PT=0123456789ABCDEF CT=0ACEAB0FC6A0A28D OK=0ACEAB0FC6A0A28D P'=0123456789ABCDEF
