xml queston

[moof15]

Would I be able to encrypt a password in a xml file, The pl file is taking it and putting the password in a xml, I could encrypt it in the .pl file "-textvariable => \$Input{OwnerPassword},
-show => '*',

but it shows the password in the xml? I am looking to encrypt it in the xml.

Thanks,

Hi moof,

I'm assuming you don't want to store the password as "*******"

Why would you want to store a password in a document? Even in its encrypted state, its a good head start for someone with time on their hands.

The easiest to use I've found is Crypt::Blowfish. Some problems though in using VB backend to decrypt - didn't have time at the time to find the issue.

It will encrypt according to your key, but if you're transferring the password in a document across a network to be decrypted, you'll also need to transfer your key to the decryption to the XSLT.
