The data passed to the functions is treated as unstructured binary data of a given length. If you pass strlen(string) as the length it will encrypt the string and not the null terminator because the string with null terminator is of length strlen(string) + 1. The decrypted length is the return value of the function as indicated in the manual pages. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N. Henson.
