The MarshallSoft AES Library for dBase (AES4DB) is a toolkit that allows software developers to easily implement 256-bit encryption and decryption in Windows dBase applications. AES4DB is a component (DLL) library that provides an easy interface to encrypt/decrypt files and data using the 256-bit Rijndael "Advanced Encryption Standard" (AES) as specified by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).The AES algorithm is commonly used by many financial entities such as banks to protect their customer's sensitive information. Some of the features of AES4DB are: - Performs 256-bit AES encryption and decryption. - Includes cryptographically secure pseudo random number generator. - Does key generation from password phrases. - Encrypts and decrypt files, strings, and byte data. - Supports PKCS7 padding. - Supports initialization vectors. - Supports CBC (Cipher Block Chaining) mode. - Supports ECB (Electronic Cookbook) mode. - Supports SHA-256 cryptographic hash algorithm. - Does random byte data generation. - Allows concurrent encryption/decryption threads. - Validated using "known answer tests" published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. - Includes multiple dBase example programs. - Does not depend on support libraries (calls to core Windows API functions only). - Royalty free distribution with your compiled application. - C source code is available. - Free technical support and updates for one year. - Fully functional evaluation version available. - Works with all 32-bit versions of dBase - Works with 32-bit and 64-bit Windows through Windows 10.
VERSION HISTORY
- Version 5.0 posted on 2020-07-16
Replaced deprecated function strncpy(). Fixed internal problem with long (over 42 characters) pass phrases. Added function aesEncodeBase64 that Base64 encodes a data buffer. Added function aesDecodeBase64 that decodes a Base64 encoded data buffer. - Version 4.2 posted on 2018-07-09
Added cryptograhically secure pseudo-random number generator aesSecureRandom(). Added AES_GET_SECURE_SIZE to aesGetInteger().. - Version 4.1 posted on 2017-06-30
Fixed problem in aesMakeUserKey() using AES_SHA256_METHOD. Added AES_MIXED_METHOD method to aesMakeUserKey(). Added aesSetInteger() and AES_SET_SEED that seeds the random number generator.
