This page shows both Java JCE DES encryption examples, as well as examples using the Chilkat Encryption component in both Java and VBScript. Each of these examples produces identical output: The string: ABC123 encrypts to 6DA02B6AE1EA32D8 (as a hexidecimalized string) Java bytes-to-hex Encoding Utility Function public static String toHex (byte buf[]) { StringBuffer strbuf = new StringBuffer(buf.length * 2); int […]
Quoted-printable, or QP encoding, is an encoding using printable characters (i.e. alphanumeric and the equals sign “=”) to transmit 8-bit data over a 7-bit data path.
