You can do this pretty easily with vList Xtra, which is x-platform and offers AES encryption. You need a writeable drive to decrypt the files. -- encrypt key = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16] -- You would actually want to get the 16 item key from user source = new(xtra "vList","C:\sourcefiles\topsecret.doc") binaryDatastring = source.readBinary() encrypted = new(xtra "vList","C:\encfiles\topsecret.lst") encrypted.write(binaryDatastring,key) -- decrypt key = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16] -- You would actually want to get the 16 item key from user encrypted = new(xtra "vList","D:\encfiles\topsecret.lst") binaryDatastring = encrypted.read(key) decrypted = new(xtra "vList","C:\Desktop\topsecret.doc") decrypted.writeBinary(binaryDataString) http://www.updatestage.com/xtras/vlist.html ------------------- Gretchen Macdowall www.updatestage.com [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
