Deprecated
This function was deprecated. Use Encryption.Cipher instead.
Parameters
Parameter | Description | Example | Flags |
---|---|---|---|
key | The key you want to use. | "Hello" | |
text | The text to encrypt. | "Hello World" | |
iv | The initial vector as a text with up to 16 bytes length. | "1234567890ABCDEF" | Optional |
Result
Returns encrypted text encoded as hex.
Description
Encrypts data with with AES engine in CBC mode.This function uses UTF-8 for key, text and iv parameters.
Keys shorter than 128 bit, 192 bit or 256 bit length are padded with null bytes to right size. This means that only the first 32 characters are used at most.
Deprecated. Please move to Encryption.Cipher for new projects.
Examples
Simply encrypt a text:
MBS( "Encryption.EncryptAES"; $key; $text )
Trying to reproduce Encryption.EncryptAES with Encryption.Cipher:
So, let's try a test case:
MBS( "Encryption.EncryptAES"; "Hello World"; "Hello World")
514532926253C04A15302CF85BD7C816
And sicken AES adds zeros to fill blocks, we have to use hex mode here:
MBS( "Encryption.Cipher"; "encrypt"; "AES-128-CBC";
"Hex"; HexEncode("Hello World") ; "";
"Hex"; HexEncode("Hello World") & "0000000000"; "";
"Hex"; "";
""; ""; ""; 0 )
Gives
514532926253C04A15302CF85BD7C8168E6AE36F6FB574F32FEA6932A5E0595F
Which looks like it uses two blocks instead of one above.
