niftyapple Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Hey everyone! I was just trying to perfect my encryption skills and I think I have confused myself more than done any good. Been trying to follow the documentation given by the SCITE editor(you will see that I copied a lot of this from that directly to avoid making mistakes) but I cant get the decrypt process to work. My test code I hope to use as proof of concept to store an encrypted password in a file for retrieval and decryption then use later on. Here is what I have so far. I put some _ArrayDisplay's in to see the encryption process at work through its various stages, but as you can tell by running this, the last array display after attempting to decrypt, it doesnt turn out as the original array. Help?! #include <Crypt.au3> #include <File.au3> #include <Array.au3> Local $aStringsToEncrypt[6] = ["AutoIt", "SciTE", "Crypt", ".au3", 42, "42"] Local $test[6] Local $hKey = _Crypt_DeriveKey("CryptPassword", $CALG_RC4) ; Declare a password string and algorithm to create a cryptographic key. For $i = 0 to 5 $test[$i] = _Crypt_EncryptData($aStringsToEncrypt[$i], $hKey, $CALG_USERKEY) Next _ArrayDisplay($test) _FileWriteFromArray(@DesktopDir & "\encrypt.txt", $test) ;~ ---------------------- Local $test2 _FileReadToArray(@DesktopDir & "\enc.txt", $test2) _ArrayDisplay($test2) ;~ UnEncrypt test Local $unenc[6] For $i = 1 to 6 $unenc[$i-1] = _Crypt_DecryptData($test2[$i], $hKey, $CALG_USERKEY) Next _ArrayDisplay($unenc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I'm not sure, but it appears you're writing to one file and reading from another. _FileWriteFromArray(@DesktopDir & "\encrypt.txt", $test) ;~ ---------------------- Local $test2 _FileReadToArray(@DesktopDir & "\enc.txt", $test2) The write is to encrypt.txt, the read is from enc.txt. Is that intentional? If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.

niftyapple Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) Woops, I did not mean to do that. I have updated it and here is the output of the 3rd display, still not the intended output.

BrewManNH Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I missed this in your code the first time through, you need to change the following line. ; From this $unenc[$i-1] = _Crypt_DecryptData($test2[$i], $hKey, $CALG_USERKEY) ; To this $unenc[$i-1] = BinaryToString(_Crypt_DecryptData($test2[$i], $hKey, $CALG_USERKEY)) As the help file explains, the decrypted data is returned as a binary string, so you need to convert that string to the correct format with BinaryToString to be able to read it. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

niftyapple Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 Ok, now I feel like I am just going to walk away from the keyboard for a while. I was playing with this last night, also getting frustrated but was converting with binarytostring. Not sure why, when I simplified the code, that I didnt put that in the "tech demo". Thanks again, thats a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kudrow Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I am not having the exact issue but what I am facing is that once I send the encrypted data over TCP it is not received in its original form. I can send the string over just fine but when it gets encrypted and sent it gets all jacked up. It looks like wingdings. Any thoughts? Thanks!

kudrow Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Take a look at my 2 screen shots and you will see what I am talking about. Keep in mind I am not trying to decrypt anything "YET" at the receiving end. I just want to see consistent data from point A to point B. The encrypted data being sent. The same data received from TCP Anyone have any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kudrow Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I figured it out. I tried converting the encrypted data to "StringToBinary" before sending it and it works now. Of course I have to do BinaryToString before decrypting and then BinaryToString after decrypting. I hope this helps someone later down the road. Thanks!
