What's new in MarshallSoft AES Library for Visual dBase 5.0

Jul 16, 2020
  • Replaced deprecated function strncpy().
  • Fixed internal problem with long (over 42 characters) pass phrases.
  • Added function aesEncodeBase64 that Base64 encodes a data buffer.
  • Added function aesDecodeBase64 that decodes a Base64 encoded data buffer.

New in MarshallSoft AES Library for Visual dBase 4.2 (Jul 10, 2018)

  • Added cryptograhically secure pseudo-random number generator aesSecureRandom().
  • Added AES_GET_SECURE_SIZE to aesGetInteger().

New in MarshallSoft AES Library for Visual dBase 4.1 (Jul 4, 2017)

  • Changed aesSha256() so it does NOT call externally defined functions [corrects issue with dBase]
  • Fixed problem in aesMakeUserKey() using AES_SHA256_METHOD.
  • Added AES_MIXED_METHOD method to aesMakeUserKey().
  • Added aesSetInteger() and AES_SET_SEED that seeds the random number generator.
  • Added aesShredFile() that shreds (overwrites with zeros then deletes) a file.

New in MarshallSoft AES Library for Visual dBase 4.0 (Dec 6, 2016)

  • Added aesEncryptBuffer() that encrypts a buffer of any length.
  • Added aesDecryptBuffer() that decrypts (previously encrypted) buffer.
  • Added aesSaltPass() that extends ("salts") passwords.
  • Added aesRemovePad() that removes PKCS7 padding.
  • Added HashDigest example program that computes SHA 256 hash digest.

New in MarshallSoft AES Library for Visual dBase 3.0 (May 21, 2015)

  • Replaced function aesSha25() with aesSha256Data() and aesSha256File().
  • Added PKCS7 padding option to aesPadBuffer().
  • Added AES_PKCS7_MASK as Flags argument in aesAttach() to set file padding to PKCS7.

New in MarshallSoft AES Library for Visual dBase 2.0 (May 21, 2015)

  • Added aesEncryptWrite() function that encryptes data & writes to a file.
  • Added aesReadDecrypt() function that reads an encrypted file & decrypts.
  • Added aesSha256() function that computes the SHA-256 data hash.
  • Added AES_SHA256_METHOD key generation method to aesMakeUserKey().
  • Added PASSWORD example program.
