DEA128 encryption or decryption (String class)

[Introduced in Model 204 7.6]


DEA128decrypt and DEA128encrypt are synonyms for the String class function that applies the DEA (Data Encryption Algorithm) using a 128-bit symmetric key to decrypt or encrypt each 64-bit block of input text. For more details about how the algorithm works, see Triple DES.

The length of the returned string is the same as that of the object string.

DEA is a two-way cipher, so encrypting a string with a key and then decrypting the result of that encryption with the same key produces the original string. That is, the following assertion should always hold:

assert %string:dea128encrypt(%key):dea128decrypt(%key) eq %string

You can use DEA128decrypt to "document" that you are decrypting, and use DEA128encrypt to "document" that you are encrypting. You can use DEA128decrypt and DEA128encrypt interchangeably on the rest of this page.

Syntax

%outString = string:DEA128decrypt( key) Throws UnsupportedCrypto, InvalidCryptoKey, InvalidCryptoData

%outString = string:DEA128encrypt( key) Throws UnsupportedCrypto, InvalidCryptoKey, InvalidCryptoData

Syntax terms

%outString A string variable to receive the encrypted or decrypted method object string. Its length is the same as string.
string The string to which the method is applied. string must be a multiple of eight bytes in length; its maximum is 32768 bytes. It may be null.
key A 16-byte (only) string variable whose value is used to encrypt or decrypt the method object, string.

Usage notes

  • You are not prevented from creating confusion by encrypting with DEA128decrypt and decrypting with DEA128encrypt.
  • The DEA128decrypt and DEA128encrypt functions are available as of Model 204 7.6.

Examples

In the following example, the output string from the DEA128encrypt method is converted to hex using the StringToHex function to reveal its non-displayable characters, then decrypted to return the original input string:

b %ls is longstring %string is longstring %key is string len 16 %string = 'onetwothreefour0onetwothreefour0' %key = '1234567816161616' %ls = %string:dea128encrypt(%key) printText {~} is {%ls:stringTohex} printText {~} is: {%ls:dea128decrypt(%key)} end

The result is:

%ls:stringTohex is: 07A6F72D733C4A333DCB4A8F9661AC8307A6F72D733C4A333DCB4A8F9661AC83 %ls:dea128decrypt(%key) is: onetwothreefour0onetwothreefour0
