Quick question (hopefully). I'm planning on using the crypto modules to encrypt some fields in my database (MySQL) using AES-256. My understanding of doing this for standard Java crypto is that it encrypts in 16-byte blocks, and so the total length of it should be, at most, the next multiple of 16 longer than the actual data (I think it may actually be slightly shorter than that, but that doesn't really matter to me). It also should be stored as some BINARY or BLOB type.
My question is whether or not the same rules apply for Shiro. The JavaDoc doesn't mention it, although it makes sense that it would because it's making the same sort of changes to the underlying data. Thanks in advance! -- View this message in context: http://shiro-user.582556.n2.nabble.com/Size-of-encrypted-text-tp7577530.html Sent from the Shiro User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
