Re: Encrypt on mobile
industrial strength encryption relies on the openssl libraries. They are not available on mobile platforms (I conclude this is why Monty provides that feature with an external).

Re: Encrypt on mobile
Thanks for confirming this, Bernard. I've sent an email to RunRev support in the hopes they can give me a definitive answer on the implications of this lack of support on usage of the 'cipherNames' property and 'encrypt' command on mobile platforms.

Encrypt on mobile
Hi all, Working on permissions and password protection for Quartam PDF Library, and I have a need for RC4 encryption at 40 bits. Actually, I do have a working plain LiveCode implementation by now, but the 'encrypt' command can do it too and is much faster. Here's the rub: I read in the release notes for the mobile versions that industrial strength encryption is not supported. So here's a few questions for the iOS/Android developers on the list: - does a script with 'the cipherNames' or 'encrypt' in it still work, or does it fail to compile? - does 'the cipherNames' return empty or does it generate an error? - does the 'encrypt' command return an error in 'the result' or does it generate an error? An example of a simple test script: ## on mouseUp put plain text into tData put dakey into tKey -- 40 bits = 5 bytes if rc4-40,40 is among the lines of the cipherNames then encrypt tData using rc4-40 with key tKey if the result is not empty then answer error the result else answer information RC4-40 returned: it end if else answer information RC4-40 not available end if end mouseUp ## Thanks in advance for the feedback!
