MarshallSoft Visual dBase AES Library

This library if for encryption by AES algorithm.

The MarshallSoft Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) Library is a component library of functions. This lets you incorporate encryption and decryption using the "Advanced Encryption Standard" (AES) as specified by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The AES method is considered very strong and replaces earlier standards. Many financial entities such as banks use this algorithm to protect their customer`s sensitive information. The library contains code verified through the "Advanced Encryption Standard Algorithm Validation Suite" (AESAVS), and is available in Advanced Encryption Standard Algorithm Validation Suite. This works with all versions of Windows (95/ME/2000/2003/XP/Vista/NT/Windows7/Windows 8). Both Win32 and Win64 DLL`s are included. This tool implements the 256 bit algorithm. This tool is not available to countries on the US export control list. This library supports the ECB (Electronic Cookbook) mode as well as CBC (Cipher Block Chaining) mode. Free technical support and updates for one year.

When you incorporate such components and libraries, paying royalties for the library distributed with the product is a concern. You do not need to worry about it in this case as the developers do not charge any royalties for the distributed products. This tool could be used in GUI mode or console mode programs. All versions of visual dBase is supported. To implement the encryption/decryption, there is no need for calls to any other software, except the OS of course. As long as the development language has the capability to call the Windows API, you could do your development in that language based on your convenience. This is a very good tool.

The MarshallSoft AES Visual dBase Library (AES4DB) is a toolkit that allows software developers to easily implement strong encryption and decryption into a Windows dBase application.
AES4DB is a component (DLL) library that provides an easy interface to to perform encryption and decryption using the 256-bit Rijndael "Advanced Encryption Standard" (AES) as specified by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).The AES algorithm is commonly used by many financial entities such as banks to protect their customer's sensitive information.
Some of the features of AES4DB are:
- Performs 256-bit AES encryption & decryption.
- Does key generation from password phrases.
- Encrypts & decrypt files, strings, and byte data.
- Implements buffer padding (spaces, zeros, random bytes).
- Supports initialization vectors.
- Supports CBC (Cipher Block Chaining) mode.
- Supports ECB (Electronic Cookbook) mode.
- Supports SHA-256 cryptographic hash algorithm.
- Does random byte data generation.
- Allows concurrent encryption/decryption threads.
- Validated using "known answer tests" published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
- Comes with both 32-bit and 64-bit DLLs.
- Supports 32-bit dBASE 7.0, 7.5 and dBASE Plus.
- Can be used by C/C++/C#, Delphi, Visual Basic, Power BASIC, FoxPro, dBase, XBase, & COBOL.
- Makes calls to Windows API functions only.
- Works on Windows 95.through Windows 8.
- Free technical support and updates for one year.
- Royalty free distribution with your compiled application.
- Purchase with or without C source code for the DLLs.
Supports Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/2003/2012/XP/Vista/Windows 7/Windows 8. Fully functional evaluation version available.
