Hi,

I have been looking for a component to do string encryption for quite
some time. I eventually found TSM's excellent components, but
unfortunately they will not run under my bcb4. Does anyone know of any
components or even functions I could use to encrypt strings using bcb4?

I recently downloaded the BlowFish & TwoFish components from TSM. I haven't
had a chance to try them out under C4, but I know they have a D4 release.
You might email them and ask for a date when a C4 will be available. They
responded to my email fairly quickly.

TSM's components are commercial and closed source.

A better choice in my opinion is the free, full source code package
available from

http://www.scramdisk.clara.net/d_crypto.html

which IMHO incidentally is much better, too.

WARNING: this is all strong cryptography. Watch all import / export
restrictions.

Stefan,

Thanks for the help. That set of components you refered me to is great,
but I am still having a bit of trouble implementing them (blowfish,
rc6). Do you know where I might find a sample bcb4 project?

No, sorry.

It really isn't difficult. If you are using the source pascal files, just
include them in your project.
Builder will create machine generated header files(*.hpp). Include those in
your project. Mostly
you use ansistring to send data. Just look at the header files and you
should do fine.

Cheers,
Ryan Phillips

Try MS's Crypto API - it's free and works pretty well if you already have a
CSP.

Where can this API documentation be found, and what are the requirements?

What is a CSP?
