[cryptopp-users] Re: How to encrypt string and write to txt
The thing is operator<< is used for formatted text output, not binary.
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/io/basic_ostream/operator_ltlt
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/FormattedOutputFunction
There are read/write functions to deal with binary files.
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/io/basic_ostream/write
Since you get binary data after encryption, you must open file in binary
mode and use write() to put binary data to file.
FileSink with binary=true does exactly what you need.
If you still want to play with text, look at HexEncoder & HexDecoder filters

Could you try to write a minimal working example in a separate project

encryption/decryption routines yourself line by line instead of copy
any examples.
The idea is simple: you read data source, you put data through the
filter (which does the encryption or decryption) and put the result to the
sink. So you should setup a source: read file in buffer and use
StringSource or VectorSource or use FileSource. Then you should prepare an
encryption filter (StreamTransformationFilter) with appropriate options
(you could learn it from example code). Then you put the data into the
Sink.
https://www.cryptopp.com/wiki/FileSource
Remember to use same key & iv for decryption. Also binary/text mode is
important when reading files. Also remember to use same mode (CBC, ECB,
etc.) for both encryption/decryption algorithm. Use authenticated
encryption to catch message checksum errors.
Try to experiment with pipelining, e.g. calculating messag digest and
printing it in hex. When you get the strong feeling what works and what
isn't you could easily use any encryption/decryption algorithm in
Cryptopp.
Just take some time to read wiki and experiment with library primitives.
And good luck with that!

[cryptopp-users] Re: How to encrypt string and write to txt
Ok so i got this figured out with this:
stringstream ss;
for (int i = 0; i < ciphertext.size(); ++i)
{
ss << hex << (0xFF & static_cast(ciphertext[i])) << " ";
}
string mystr = ss.str();
cout << "mystr: " << mystr << endl;
and it works fine, all characters are printed in hex and i can write them
in a txt file, no problem. BUT when i read them from the txt file, i dont
know how to convert them back from hex, so i can do the decryption.
