dammieX said EXAMPLE 1 variables string vEnc raw vrawdata endvariables   vEnc = $encode("BLOWFISH", "~home", "secret key") ;encrypt the data vRawData = $decode("BLOWFISH", vEnc, "secret key") ;decrypt the data klic = $encode("USTRING", vRawData) ;convert the decrypted data from Raw to String "ERROR=-1791·; MNEM=·; DESCRIPTION=Encode/decode general error·; COMPONENT=AA0006XO·; PROCNAME=6\\DTLF·; TRIGGER=DTLF·; LINE=3·; ADDITIONAL=StreamTransformationFilter: ciphertext length is not a multiple of block size"

The variable vEnc needs to be defined as raw. And then the sample will work as expected. Please note that all algorithms (except BASE64, HEX, URL or USTRING) return encoded or encrypted data in the Uniface raw data type. For details see the documentation of $encode.

Where did you find this example? When I check the Uniface Library for version 9.6 or 9.7 then the algorithm for the RSA-OAEP encryption scheme with SHA-512 hash is called "RSAES_OAEP_SHA512" and not "RSA_OAEP_SHA512". For details see the example "Encrypting and Decrypting Data Using the Keys" under the topic about "RSA Asymmetric Key Cryptography". Hope this helps. Kind regards, Daniel Iseli Uniface Support

Thanks for the info. So it seems that the mentioned example was incorrect in the older Uniface Library and this has been corrected in the meantime (e.g. 9.6.07 & 9.7.01).
