Re: encryption question PART 2 HEHE

2001-07-24 Thread Robi Sen

You might want to look at this http://jenghis.thirdtier.com/crypto/ which uses Strong 
Crypto.  This URL is rather
outdated and the lattest version I have written supports all the AES systems as well 
as various forms of public key
crypto and exchange.

Its also super fast so its fine for little things like credit cards but it also 
functional for text as long as the
bible.  Also we just licensed RSA crypto packages and we can support those as well.

Re: Encryption Question PART 2

2001-07-24 Thread Robi Sen

Pooh,

You may be able to obfuscate your information from most people but anyone with some 
time and a decent system will
most likely have a easy go with your algorithm.  What you are doing sounds like very 
simple encryption scheme and
is rife for frequency analysis which would not be that hard since you gave me both 
plain text and cypher text.
Optimally a analyst would want multiple copies of plain text and cypher text but I 
think a good crypto person could
get reasonable close via what you have here.

Also the most likely way some one get your crypto system is to get access to your 
algorithm which I am sure based
on what you say would allow them to decrypt anything you create which makes for a very 
weak crypto scheme.  Your
best bet it is to use something like BlowFish or AES, DES, TIPLEDES, etc which are 
well understood systems and are
ethier very hard to crack or have not been publicly cracked yet.

Cheers,

Robi

Re: .Net and ColdFusion

2001-07-24 Thread Robi Sen

The book is not out yet.

As for .NET well you could use SOAP,and BizTalk (funny side note we wrote the first 
BizTalk server in June 4, 1999
with ColdFusion, WDDX, and XSLT to translate the WDDX to XDR/BizTalk) but you have to 
use a older version of SOAP
not 1.2 since the .NET framework is lagging a bit and their are some scheme 
interpretation issues which is a little
funny since MS is one of the motivateing forces behind SOAP.

Since SOAP is XML and since XML is in general easy to work with and is platform 
independant XML makes the most
sensible approach to a .Net integration all though you should be able to easily call 
and wrap the various COM
interfaces to it from CF.  Or you could use C# and call it.  Frankly I have not paid 
much attention to .NET in that
most of our client base will not touch a product until its been in production for a 
year or so and they generally
use some flavour of UNIX so I am sure there is some one on this list who would be a 
better source for you.

I am going to have a series of articles up about creating webservices with CF at 
xml.granularity.com in about a
month or so.  You might want to check that out.

Re: XSLT And CF

2000-10-31 Thread robi sen

Brian,

Not sure what you want to do but we wrote the first XSLT parser for CF and just 
released GIAXT2 which is a hyper fast java XSLT parser (we also have a
XPATH, DOM, WDDX/DOM, SOAP, and XQL parser).  Also unlike most of the other people who 
have done things with CFOBJECT or MSXML with com our runs on and os
that supports Java, is faster than MS XML based technologies, and supports the lattest 
version of XSLT, DOM, XML, and XPATH while the MS XML parsers do not.

Why do you not look at http://www.granularity.net/technologies/ and you can get some 
ideas on our product offerings.

BTW.. our xml technologies are being used by companies like SCHWAB, Standards and 
Poors, Deutsche Bank, several other Fourtune 1000 companies.

If you like I can get you 30 day trial licenses and a support license for free if you 
email me.

Robi

Well not sure what you want to

Re: CF Version Control??

2000-10-26 Thread robi sen

If you dont have money you should check out something like CVS (there are many 
freeware version s and clients for most OS's).  If you have MS Visual Studio
use VSS, it you have allot of money use Star Team.

Frankly if you are not using at least CVS for version control then you might as well 
not even use anything in my opinion.
