To generate a key from a password, use EVP_BytesToKey There is an explanation in an old document written by the legendary EAY in doc\ssleay.txt.
That old document (search for == cipher.m == ) has an example of encrypting some bytes with TripleDES and EVP_BytesToKey, EVP_EncryptInit and the like. --- "Hellan,Kim KHE" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> escreveu: > Hi > > I haven't worked with symmetric encryption, so this > may be a simple problem to you guys (I hope). > I have a text, "HELLO WORLD", that I want to encrypt > using 3DES.
