Encript with php, decrypt within windows without php?

sonny · 12-27-2012, 06:09 PM

Hi, looking for advice, I would like too encrypt a few generated files on line, got that part
working wondering if anyone knows of a windows program that can decrypt them, when
down loaded I'm open to change or modify my php decryption method if I have too. I'm
just trying to protect some important data from prying eyes, I'm also looking into the best
way of protecting my email being sent by php mail to me as well.

Thanks
Sonny

That depends on what encryption you are actually using?

Depends on the Algorithm used mate. Your PHP prgram has to use the same algorithm as the Windows program.

To prevent prying and such...that is when the data is in transit(not when already in the server and you don't want tech guys to check that is has arrived in the server), use SSL encrypted GMAIL servers.

Check out this example that uses the Gmail servers to send the email.

I'm using php's encrypt and decrypt that's all
I would like to be able too decrypt a file with
my laptop without installing an Apache server on it?

I am talking about important files that may sit on
the server, I always use SSL that's not my concern.

I thought maybe there was a light weight window
program out there, that can decrypt that. if anyone
knows of a better way to do this then what I am trying
please let me know.

Thanks
Sonny

UPDATE
I got the email problem fixed at least by using PGP, don't
know why I never did this before.

PHP encrypt uses MCrypt so this might be able to help you.

How does that work? when I run it just closes itself, how do I select a file?

Thanks

Ah. Sorry. I have no idea how MCrypt is used on Windows. Use Linux or Cygwin which will help ou achieve almost similar Unix functionality. Sorry I couldn't help.

Here is an example of how to handle encryption/decryption with PHP and C#. You'll have to create an application to implement the C# code on windows, or perhaps find one that someone else has already created.

sounds like a lot just too decrypt something, Guess I will have to install Apache with php and
decrypt that way, in the meantime I'll just have to send the files with GPG.

thought there would be a small window based executable already out there to decrypt php's
mycrypt, really surprised encrypting visitor sensitive data is not all that popular I guess.

Ok thanks for the input guys
