We use parts of it too - modified. Not all the encryption routines are full strength. I was looking at one the other day, and it did only 7 rounds - which is known to be breakable versus the full strength cipher that does 15 rounds - beware - I wonder if this was done to stop US type export issues?

Its as easy as using Tstream or Buffer Copying. Most of the security issue is really revolved around how you send your passwords and method for defining the encryption key etc. as long as you pick a safeish method you are probably safe from most hassles with hackers who want to spend time thrashing your system :) > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Corey Murtagh > Sent: Tuesday, 30 September 2003 9:28 a.m. > To: Multiple recipients of list delphi > Subject: Re: [DUG]: WinApi Encryption > > > Nahum.Wild wrote: > > But if you spend more than $100 of your time investigating > third party > > encryption libs then which is cheaper? > > Depends... > > a) how many hours is US$100 for you? > > b) will PKZip professional suit you /future/ encryption needs? > > c) if, by doing the research, you learn something about encryption... > how much is that worth? > > > Just my two cents worth. :o) > > Hmm... if 'a few hours' is worth more than US$100, then by > extrapolation > this email too you... what, a few seconds? :> > > -- > Corey Murtagh > The Electric Monk > "Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur!" > > -------------------------------------------------------------- > ------------- > New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz > To UnSub, send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with body of "unsubscribe delphi" > Web Archive at: http://www.mail-archive.com/delphi%40delphi.org.nz/ > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz To UnSub, send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body of "unsubscribe delphi" Web Archive at: http://www.mail-archive.com/delphi%40delphi.org.nz/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz To UnSub, send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body of "unsubscribe delphi" Web Archive at: http://www.mail-archive.com/delphi%40delphi.org.nz/
