*  This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
*  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

*  For SQL Server 2008 - SQL Server 2016 we must use TripleDES with SHA1
*  For SQL Server 2017 and later, use AES256 / SHA256.

*  The encrypted hex string will begin with either 01000000 or 02000000
*  version 1 is produced by SQL Server 2008 to SQL Server 2016, and we must use TripleDES with SHA1
*  version 2 is for SQL Server 2017 and later, and uses AES256 / SHA256.

    *  For v1, we only want the 1st 16 bytes of the 20 byte hash.

ENDIF

? "crypt key: " + loSbKey.GetAsString()

loCrypt.SetEncodedKey(loSbKey.GetAsString(),"hex")

*  Decrypt
loBd = CreateObject('Chilkat.BinData')
loBd.AppendEncoded(loSbEncHex.GetAsString(),"hex")
loCrypt.DecryptBd(loBd)

*  The result is composed of a header of 8 bytes which we can discard.
*  The remainder is the decrypted text.

*  The header we are discarding is composed of:
*  Bytes 0-3: Magic number equal to 0DF0ADBA
*  Bytes 4-5: Number of integrity bytes, which is 0 unless an authenticator is used. We're assuming no authenticator is used.
*  Bytes 6-7: Number of plain-text bytes. We really don't need this because the CBC padding takes care of it.

*  Therefore, just return the data after the 1st 8 bytes.
*  Assuming the encrypted string was utf-8 text...
loBd.RemoveChunk(0,8)
lcPlainText = loBd.GetString("utf-8")
? "decrypted plain text: " + lcPlainText

*  The output:

*  IV = 1E8E7DCDBD4061B9
*  crypt key: 710B9C2E61ACCC9570D4112203BD9738
*  decrypted plain text: Hello world.

*  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*  To encrypt, do the reverse...

*  Let's do v1 with TripleDES with SHA1

loEncryptor.SetEncodedIV(lcIvHex,"hex")

*  The binary password is generated the same as above.
*  We'll use the same password (and same binary password)
loEncryptor.SetEncodedKey(loSbKey.GetAsString(),"hex")
