Re: Symmetric encryption sample code

Hi Bertrand,

7.6? That's a classic vintage!

Here's some code to get you started... I'm sure that the crypto experts 
will be able to provide additional detail.

> object b = Crypto.Buffer(Crypto.AES);
> b->set_encrypt_key("b" * 16); // AES keys may be 128, 192 or 256 bits.
> string e = b->crypt("Mary had a little pike, its scales were smooth and 
shiny.");
> e+=b->pad(); // pad out the AES block.
// E contains a binary string. You may wish to encode this (base 64, hex, 
etc) for easier transfer

// Decrypt E
> object b = Crypto.Buffer(Crypto.AES);
> b->set_decrypt_key("b" * 16);
> b->unpad(e);
Result: "Mary had a little pike, its scales were smooth and shiny."
