This week's book giveaway is in the Agile and other Processes forum. We're giving away four copies of The Mikado Method and have Ola Ellnestam and Daniel Brolund on-line! See this thread for details.
Hi, I want to encrypt a text & save it to file,which should not be human readable or easily understandable.In my application I want to read the file & decrypt the text.Please reply with some code if possible. Happy middling with java. Netharam.
XML encryption, got the news froma Dutch guy working at ABN that IBM developped a Encryption / Decryption tool for XML (not free) which allows you to encode part of an XML file

Just another developper

From my understanding of the question, the encryption/decryption is done by the same party, correct me if I am wrong, symmetric algorithm is the way to go. Blowfish is a new and better symmetric encryption algorithm. DES is another one... I used Blowfish encryption, our product has just shipped to Disney. RSA is for encrypting by one party and decrypting by another party. RSA or other Public/Private Key pair system (e.g. D-H Public-Key Directory) solved the famous key transportation problem. Read a very good introductory from here: Introduction To Cryptography MD5 or other one-way digest encryption algorithm is for encrypting password, which means you never want to decrypt it back. I used it on our project team login page for a little more than a year now... Different encryption algorithms solve different problems and are used for different purposes...

You can use JCE for any sort of encryption that you would like to perform. Look at the JCE documentaion in the appendicies for an example of PBE (password based encryption). That you get you started. charlie
JCE are just interfaces. Sun provider does not provide any Sysmmetric algorithms, only RSA and MD5 etc.. You still need the Encryption algorithm providers. Been there, and done that.

If you download the BlowfishJ, and try their sample code, then you will find how easy to use it. We wasted so much time to discuss it, it is enough to get the job done already.

On the contrary, I think the Sun provider that ships with the JCE(assuming you are within the US) does provide implementations of the symmetric-key DES and BlowFish algorithms. It does not provide an implementation of the RSA algorithm though... [ May 01, 2002: Message edited by: Junaid Bhatra ]
