encryption question

mctang

Hi  All,

1. I type the following command in CIW

     encrypt( "abc.il" , "abc_enc.il")

    Could anther user convert abc_enc.il to ASCII file ?

2.  I type the following command in CIW

     encrypt( "abc.il" , "abc_enc.il", "pass" )

    Could anther user convert abc_enc.il to ASCII skill file if the user has the password ?

Thanks,

ManChak

  • Hi ManChak,

    1) potentially, simply loading the abc_enc.il file will decrypt it in virtual memory, with a SKILL debug key it could be pretty printed and/or written out. By default the function is read-protected.  Also you can set the function to be read and write protected by putting it in a context instead; this is your safest bet.

    2) essentially the same as 1) - you need to provide the password to read the file, I believe, and then you're in the same position as in 1).

    Best regards,

    Lawrence.
