Max length of encrypted encoded string
Max length of encrypted encoded string
Hi there.
I bit of information I couldn't find in the help file:
If I've got a string of max 20 chars, whats the upper limit on the length of the string, after it has been ecrypted and encoded?
Thanks

Hi.
Sorry for being unclear.
Simply, I want to encrypt and encode a password string in order to save it to my database.
I just need to know the necessary size of the database field. Is a field length of 50 chars enough?
In clear text, my password is of max 20 chars.
pw := '12345678901234567890';
Encrypt(pw, '8nwe3r7');
x := Encode(s);
Whats the max length of x that I need to worry about? Does it depend on the encryption key?
Thanks
Jacob

Hi again. I'll try to ask a more specific question.
Does the Encrypt(x, y) procedure preserve the length of the var parameter x?
Or is safe to say, that the lenght of x is no longer than doubled?
In other words:
For all strings x of length <= a:
Execute procedure call Encrypt(x, y)
Is it subsequentially true, that Length(x) <= 2*a ?
Or, can you give another constant instead of "2"?
Thanks
