Re: Encryption / Encoding Differences between IDE and OS X Standalone

Bill Thanks, I took a look at your Encryption Demo Stack which works correctly both in the IDE and as a standalone. It does look as though the problem that I'm hitting is due to the limitations of a field and not the encryption functions. I will continue to investigate. Regards Peter On 20

Peter, I don’t know why it would be different in the IDE vs a standalone but I wouldn’t expect it to work correctly working with fields. There are limitations of what can be in a field. I wrote the “Encryption Demo Stack” in RevOnLine that works both compiled and in the IDE. It puts the encryp

Many thanks to Jan for the helpful suggestions with which I have improved the code. Unfortunately, it didn't solve the problem. I have cut down the code so that the encryption uses only a plaintext password, no sha1 hashing, no salt and no initial value. Thanks to Jan's Base64 encoding suggesti

Hi Peter, Fields are meant for the display of text, not binary data. You could 'base64encode' the binary data before you display it. Oh, and when treating binary data, you should the 'byte' chunk instead of the 'char' chunk. That way when LiveCode goes all-in Unicode, your script will continuye

Right. My tests were on Android, where the new encryption external must be checked. And again, that is in 6.6 DP1. So, I don't know what to suggest. May be a bug. ~Roger On Feb 19, 2014 10:40 PM, "Peter W A Wood" wrote: > Hi Roger > > On 20 Feb 2014, at 10:42, Roger Eller wrote: > > > I had

Roger I'm pretty certain that I did. The first time I build the standalone, I used the "search for ..." option. The second time I specifically included the ssl & encryption lib. Regards Peter http://LiveCode1001.blogspot.com On 20 Feb 2014, at 10:23, Roger Eller wrote: > In standalone appli
