Easy algorithm to encrypt / decrypt string data?

**Mike** · 9th January 2006, 21:57

Hi everybody,

I'm looking for an easy algorithm / QT class to encrypt / decrypt string data. Can anyone recommend something? Does Qt have a utility class for this? TripleDes... or something like it? I'm no security expert, but Java / C# provide something for this. Does somebody know about a Qt implementation? I haven't found any Qt class so far. What would you recommend to use for this purpose? I would like to have it platform independent too, so that I can compile my app not just for Linux.

Thanks.

Nice one, but no docs anyware (googling didn't help). Maybe doxygen style comments to extract documentation?

Yes, after running doxygen you will get the docs.

No such thing in qca-1.0.tar.bz2, downloading the provider plugin
Nope, I'll just take a look at the examples the implementation looks pretty sraightforward, thanks for the link
