AESEncrypt> function

[hagchr]

I tried the AESEncrypt> example from the help page and note that when the string to encode is less than 16 characters, I get the clear text back independent on what decode password I use? Is that a bug or does the function require at least 16 character strings to work? ... or am I missing something else?

Code: Select all

Let>AES_LEGACY=1

//Create a password
Let>mypassword1=ABCDEFGHI
Let>mypassword2=123456789

Let>strText=the quick brown
//Let>strText=the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog
 
//encrypt the string with AES
AESEncrypt>strText,mypassword1,ENCRYPT,encrypted_data
 
//as encrypted data is binary use Base64 to encode it to a string
Base64>encrypted_data,ENCODE,encoded_encrypted_data
 
//decode and decrypt
Base64>encoded_encrypted_data,DECODE,encrypted_data
AESEncrypt>encrypted_data,mypassword2,DECRYPT,strText2

MDL>strText2

I've tested this and can confirm your findings but only in legacy mode. Will investigate further.
