1. encrypt sequence

Does anyone have a suggestion for an EU routine source to encript a sequence (like a password or emailaddress) which is sent over the internet?

Does the recipient need to decrypt it? In other words, is it important that they get to see the plain text or do they only have to know if it's valid or not?

Can you describe how you are intending to use the transmitted information.

Good poing Derek. I have both types. One is a password which they do not need to see. I just want to encrypt it and stick it in a data base. The other is more sensitative and they need to be able to see it on both ends. I guess that would take 2 types of encryption.

Download the MD5 lib from Davi Figueiredo. It's what I use to store passwords for BBCMF.

I think in the archives, there is Blowfish, which will work for something that needs to be encrypted and later decrypted.

There are also other encrypt/decrpyt methods, some all Euphoria in the archive as well. Depending on the need for security, one may work for you...

I'm not sure why this keeps coming up. We're getting to the point in this forum where topics are being discussed over and over in multiple threads. Please use the search. We have been over this before...

I think I suggested before, use Blowfish. It allows you to encrypt/decrypt sequences in memory. I used it for a password manager that saves encrypted passwords to a Euphoria database. I would imagine it'd be the same, except for the data. I could provide an example, if you need...

Sounds like a FAQ opportunity! I nominate Greg to write it. All in favor? Aye! Done. Make it so.

I'm game. Do we have an FAQ? Is there a forum-specific FAQ?

Instead of a FAQ entry (there is no official FAQ anyway), how about a Mini-Guide for Encryption?

Here's an Unofficial Euphoria FAQ, but I'd rather it get ported to something official in the Manual.

A mini-guide sounds good. Encryption is something everyone can/should use.

I think there should be a "Site FAQ" link at the top with the "Home" "Forum" and "Manual" links. This should be separate from the "Euphoria FAQ" which would pertain to the language itself.

Any of this would work form me. I have searched the archives and was aware of postings above. What I was really asking was a recommendation as I am not at all familiar with the topic of protecting info such as passwords, accounts, and other personal info.

thanks for the comments.

Actually, a better place for this might be the MiniGuides in the Wiki.
