mcrypt and key bytes

Hello,

I try use mcrypt but I want to use key in bytes, not in string. Encrypt
text will be decrypt in Delphi with function where key is 16byte not string.

How can I do this.

Thanks for any help.

best regards

Any Key String is hashed by mcrypt and this hashed value (16 bytes) is
internally put in key. I don't know how mcrypt do this but I have to put
the same 16bytes in Delphi function.

A 16 byte string is a 16 byte string in any language, regardless of what it
contains.

I've written a php page which allows users to type in a text string and a key, then choose from a dropdown menu of encryption/decryption cyphers, and a method (encrypt, decrypt). The whole thing works, except the mcrypt command doesn't work. here is my mcrypt command: if ($method == 0) { //Encrypt $output = mcrypt_ecb ($algorithm, $key, $input, MCRYPT_ENCRYPT);

I'm writing an app that will use blowfish encryption.. PHP's mcrypt will be used if available. if not, I'll use PHPmyadmin's blowfish.php library. The problem is I can't figure out what initialization vector blowfish.php is useing (or if that's even my problem). ie, if I encrypt with blowfish.php and decrypt with mcrypt: /* include path to phpmyadmin '/libraries/blowfish.php'; */ $secret = 'secret';

Hello, My hosting company does not support the PHP mcrypt functions. Instead, they recomend using the command line, /usr/local/bin/mcrypt utility via PHP's exec method. Sadly, they do not provide any documentation how to do this. How would i translate the following function encryptString($p_str) { $iv_size = mcrypt_get_iv_size(MCRYPT_XTEA, MCRYPT_MODE_ECB); $iv = mcrypt_create_iv($iv_size, MCRYPT_RAND);

Hi, I'm getting some strange errors that I cannot pin down: Warning: mcrypt_generic_init(): Iv size incorrect; supplied length: 7, needed: 8 in...... This is strange because the data is encrypted, inserted into the databse, then later retrieved and decrypted with the necessary hash and ivector keys.

Long story short. I want to use Mac OS/X and PHP. I have a db with passwords stored under Linux using the crypt("foo", "$1$".$salt."$); scheme. This means that crypt should execute a CRYPT_MD5 password hash. I know that Mac OS/X only supports the two DES'. So is there a way I can use mcrypt, or mhash or ANY library to reproduce php's CRYPT_MD5 crypt() call? I don't really have a choice to use another password hash scheme, as the data is...
