Hi, I'm new to the list and I joined because I couldn't figure out the answer to this problem.
I'm trying to take a string ( In this case, a password ), and encrypt it with RSA encryption via the perl module, Crypt::RSA. Later on, I want to be able to pull the encrypted string back out and decrypt it. One of three things happens when I do this however. 1) Everything works fine. 2) I cannot insert the encrypted string. 3) The encrypted string is inserted, but incorrectly and will not decrypt. I tried using a blob or medium blob for the datatype, but neither will work 100% of the time. Has anyone done this before with a Mysql db and if so, how? What sort of datatype do you use for the field that will contain the encrypted string? Did you use a different type of encryption method? ( Keep in mind that I cannot use a one way encryption scheme for this. ) Thanks, Steve --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
