3 things come to mind right now: 1. BuddyAPI have a baEncryptFile() which uses XOR to encrypt and decrypt files. Anyone with any knowlege about XOR encryptions can easily break that encryption. If you are not too concerned about security, and need casual encryption, this will be the quickest.
2. lingo Fish ( http://www.killingmoon.com/director/lingofish/ ) is a free solution, but since it uses native director code with fileIO, it will be a performance hog. Blowfish was a canidate for AES, and is very secure. If you files are small, then this will be the cheapest solution. 3. Rosetta Xtra ( http://xtras.calu.us/documentationRose/roseCrypt.htm ) have Rijndael's AES Encryption, and is very secure. Since everything is calculated in the xtra, there is minimal performce hog, however this will be the most expensive solution for you. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ross Clutterbuck" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2004 10:51 AM Subject: <lingo-l> OT: Distributed File Encryption > Greets to all - bit of an OT query here. > > A client has asked me about encrypting files that are to be distributed on > CD.
