Encryption Functions

Description

Alpha Anywhere provides the following Encryption functions and methods.

Name: Description
*CRC Function: Returns a CRC value for text. The *CRC() function generates a 32 bit Cyclic Redundancy Code (CRC) from a text string.
*MD5 Function: Create the MD5 hash for a string.
a5_encrypt_table_field Function: Encrypts or decrypts data stored in a table field.
base64Decode Function: Converts a base64 encoded string back to its binary data. Can be used to convert base64 images back to their original format.
base64Encode Function: Encode (to string) binary data using base64.
BASE64ENCODE_FILE Function: Encode (to string w/ CRLFs) binary data using BASE64.
CHKDIGIT Function: Returns a checksum digit for a string of numbers.
DECRYPT_STRING Function: Decrypt a string given Encrypted string.
DEFAULT_ENCRYPTION_KEY_SET Function: Sets the default key to encrypt and decrypt tables
ENCRYPT_STRING Function: Encrypt a string given Plaintext.
hmac_hash Function: Generates a digital signature of the data using the key and HMACSHA1, HMACSHA256, or any other signing method supported by the .NET Framework
MD5 Function: Generates an MD5 checksum of the text_to_sum
sha512 Function: Creates a hash using the SHA512 algorithm.
UUDECODE Function: Decode (from string) binary data using UUEncode scheme (64 bits).
UUENCODE Function: Encode (to string) binary data using UUEncode scheme (64 bits).
