Oakbox's Web Crypto Interface

A small program to provide GOOD encryption through a web interface. This script uses Cypher Block Chaining and any of your choice of encryption schemes (Blowfish [default], IDEA, DES, or Triple-DES)

If you decide to install this script on your web server, you should be aware that transmitting clear text over the internet is NOT secure. You should only use this interface on a SSL-protected web site (https://)

donations give me time to develop and support my scripts.

 

Here is the TEXT of the script:

         # Oakbox's Web Crypto Interface
         # by Richard Still (c) 2001 http://www.oakbox.com
         #
         # Set this script up behind a SSL web connection. This script takes
         # an input message and a key, then encrypts the message using your key
         # and your installed cryptographic scheme.
         #
         # The output hex code is broken up to easily fit into the body of
         # an email message.
         #
         # To Decrypt a message, simply enter your encrypted text and your key.
         # The script strips carriage returns and spaces are removed from the
         # input text and then attempts to decrypt the message with the set
         # encryption scheme.
         #
         # Required modules
         # Crypt::CBC
         # AND at least one of the following:
         # Crypt::Blowfish
         # Crypt::IDEA
         # Crypt::DES
         # (See the documentation for the Crypt::CBC script to see what other
         # encryption schemes can be used with this system)
