Enhancement: transparently persist/retrieve large amounts of array data as JSON

2019-02-04 Thread Bernard Devlin via use-livecode
As far as I can see, providing this enhancement is (in essence) no more than the addition of one line to Livecode's compilation process. Details here: https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=21821 Seems to me to be a huge gain for virtually no effort. Array data could be stored and

Hi Bob, The code goes something like this the_password = user password string decrypt_key = MaximizePassword(the_password) salt = 512hash(MaximizePassword(the_password) & pepper character) The password string runs through a "MaximizePassword" function that maximizes the password length even if

This has my curiosity piqued. How do you use the pepper? Do you simply append/prepend the pepper onto the password? Bob S ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your

Ya, Its a head scratcher.I can't really spend to much time investigating it thankfully I can deal with it easily once i found it ..in this case. Its been driving me crazy, because once in a while in testing i would get an account that was created seemingly correct but would not open.

When I attempt to decrypt a salted hash and it fails, "it" contains empty and the result contains "(SSL error: bad decrypt)", otherwise it contains some value and the result is empty. The only thing I can think of is that at random times even though the pepper is invalid, the decrypt function

Just to clarify My (local) application uses a salt and pepper technique to add cycles to the decrypt. The pepper (a-z) is added to the salt the first time the account is made. Afterward, when I try to log into the account using the correct password, my application has to cycle through the

This is not a bug.  The SSL library will only complain if it requires a parameter with a certain bit length and you provide an invalid value.  As long as your key/password/IV/salt are acceptable then you will get the result of the decrypt.  One way (not necessarily secure) is the pretend your
