Actually I am using NET and the algorithms I'm trying to use are those provided by the clr. It seems to have available just about anything I might need except as I said they all work with a MemoryStream and byte variables. I tried typecasting but that didn't seem to work and I don't know if I can substitute a different stream type...but I'll give it a try and see what happens. One thing though, it seems a terrible waste to use a stream just for a single string of perhaps 8 chars, but I haven't had any luck finding any specific string handling encryption routines...good ones...that can be used in NET except for paid libraries.

Simply extract a character and type-cast it to Byte. Not that if you're using .Net, the string type is an alias for WideString, not AnsiString, and so characters are no longer single bytes. If you can encrypt a stream, then you can encrypt a string by using a TStringStream in place of whatever other steram you might use. -- Rob _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi
