Good Day All, I would like someone to please clarify this for me as I am new to using crypto ++. The examples code in test.cpp provides the function EncryptFile(const char *in, const char *out, const char *passPhrase) to encrypt a file. What I need clarification for is the relationship between the passPhrase and the encryption key for 3DES. Are they exactly the same.
For example, I encrypted a file using crypto++ with a passPhrase "ABCDEFGHABCDEFGHABCDEFGH" and decrypted on a different platform/application with an key as "ABCDEFGHABCDEFGHABCDEFGH" (exactly the same as the passPhrase) but could not recover the file in its original format. Is their something else I need to do to derive or generate the key from the passphrase? Thanks in advance. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "Crypto++ Users" Google Group. To unsubscribe, send an email to [email protected].
