Yes, I know the phrase he's using as a key, and am using the same thing. > There are lots of reasons that two encryptions of the same plaintext > wont result in the same ciphertext.

In this case, the question is can I generate the same exact output as him, because the program that reads it expects what his program is putting out. I took a closer look at his program, and he's converting the output to Base64, which explains why his output is printable characters. He didn't tell me that. He's also treating the input as UTF8, but I don't know if that matters when the input is straigh old typewriter characters. This is the guts of his C# program: public static string EncryptKey(string inputString, string encryptionKey) { //Used encrypt/decrypt examples from http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/Cryptography.asp byte[] keyArray; byte[] toEncryptArray = UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(inputString); keyArray = UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(securityKey); TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider tdes = new TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider(); tdes.Key = keyArray; tdes.Mode = CipherMode.ECB; tdes.Padding = PaddingMode.PKCS7; ICryptoTransform cTransform = tdes.CreateEncryptor(); byte[] resultArray = cTransform.TransformFinalBlock(toEncryptArray, 0, toEncryptArray.Length); tdes.Clear(); return Convert.ToBase64String(resultArray, 0, resultArray.Length); } Thanks. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
