Hi Nelson, Just for fun, I've checked on the legalese for the task you want to make, I believe when they say electronic keys, they mean passwords or other form of authentication(smart cards, biometrics etc):
*REPUBLIC ACT NO. 8792 - AN ACT PROVIDING FOR THE RECOGNITION AND USE OF ELECTRONIC COMMERCIAL AND NON-COMMERCIAL TRANSACTIONS AND DOCUMENTS, PENALTIES FOR UNLAWFUL USE THEREOF AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES * http://www.chanrobles.com/republicactno8792.htm SEC. 31. Lawful Access. - Access to an electronic file, or an electronic signature of an electronic data message or *electronic document shall only be authorized* and enforced in favor of the individual or* entity having a legal right to the possession or the use of the plaintext*, electronic signature or file and solely for the authorized purposes. The electronic key for identity or integrity *shall not be made available to any person or party without the consent of the individual or entity in lawful possession ofthat electronic key. *On Wed, May 21, 2008 at 8:32 PM, Xander Solis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Nelson, > > Just an idea. > > The encrypt() function is a 1 way hash.
