Hi Gustav: This is very interesting. Have you looked at Blowfish the open-source encryption scheme? It does not have an export block on it like some versions of PGP (or a suspected American security back-door like AES and TwoFish) and has never been cracked even though everyone knows how it works, unlike DES (http://www.eff.org/Privacy/Crypto/Crypto_misc/DESCracker/): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowfish_%28cipher%29 Jim -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Gustav Brock Sent: Sunday, November 13, 2005 11:01 AM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: [AccessD] Cryptlib for encryption/decrypting/signing Hi all This site of Peter Gutmann contains much info and links for en-/decrypting: http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001 One link is for Cryptlib, a library with interfaces to many programming languages: http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/cryptlib/ containing all sorts of functions, also for S/MIME signing and encryption of e-mail. There's a link for an ActiveX implementation too, but unfortunately this seems not be maintained any more. Thus, for VB(A) the only library left is the VB6 bas module. Unfortunately this makes heavy use of Enum which - as far as I know - is not supported in VBA so a lot of rewriting would be needed. Nevertheless, much info on the topic is available here. /gustav -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
