RC4 Hex Encryption
This HB++ sample shows how to encrypt and decrypt on the fly using RC4 and RecordDB. It uses two forms, one with a grid (display) and one with text boxes (edit). The sample includes binary sort, a lookup function using StringMatcher, categories, and creation of an intial record upon startup. In addition, the application creates a mirror encrypted recordset with the RC4 algorithm converted to hex so it can be stored in a string field and easily transferred to PC with the conduit. Finally, there is a VB6 application to display the records on the PC including encryption and decryption algorithms.
