The encrypted output could also contain a null (\0) which is probably even more of a problem for your application.

Given below is problem summarized. I have used OpenSSL library's DES_ede3_ofb64_encrypt() function to perform encryption byte by byte on chunk of 24 bytes. For example: Input 24 bytes are: [root@tarun]# cat input.txt aaaaaaaabbbbbbbbcccccccc It encrypts 24 bytes successfully. Generates encrypted data, for example: [root@tarun]# cat code.txt RÛÄSÒ É#k7uÀÎCZ!°p Here comes problem for my software application, I want all 24 encrypted bytes in sequence WITHOUT '\n'. If possible in printable characters. Can you please help or guidance how to avoid '\n' in encrypted code? Is there any range of characters I can specify to DES algorithm which can be used for encrypted code generation? Please help I am stuck. Thanks.
