cipherEncryptHex

CryptoSys API Library Manual

cipherEncryptHex

Encrypt hex-encoded data using the specified block cipher algorithm, mode and padding. The key and initialization vector are passed as hex-encoded strings.

Syntax

[VBA]

Public Function cipherEncryptHex ( _
    szInputHex As String, _
    szKeyHex As String, _
    szIvHex As String, _
    szAlgModePad As String, _
    Optional nOptions As Long = 0 _
) As String

Parameters

szInputHex

Input data to be encrypted.

szKeyHex

Hex-encoded key of exact key length.

szIvHex

Hex-encoded IV of exact block length or "" for ECB mode.

szAlgModePad

String with block cipher algorithm, mode and padding, e.g. "aes128/cbc/pkcs5"

Alg:  aes128|aes192|aes256|tdea|3des|desede3
Mode: ecb|cbc|ofb|cfb|ctr
Pad:  pkcs5|nopad|oneandzeroes|ansix923|w3c

nOptions

Add API_IV_PREFIX to prepend the IV before the ciphertext in the output (ignored for ECB mode).

Return Value

String: Encrypted ciphertext in hex-encoded string or empty string on error.

Remarks

Input data may be any even number of hex characters, but not zero. Default padding is Pkcs5 for ECB and CBC mode and NoPad for all other modes.
