Hi Everybody,
Does anybody know whether it is possible to encrypt AUTOMATICALLY in PHP
(at the server side) an Adobe PDF document (also stored at the server side)
by using a public key coming from a certificat of the client that want to
retreive, decrypt (with his private key) and read the PDF document ?
I would like to distribute PDF document to certified clients for which they
could only read the document on their PC that owns the certificat
(public/private keys) that has been used to encrypt the document at the
server side and allow to decrypt it at the client side.
Many thanks in advance for you help

Forget it. Most clients don't have certificates, and even if they did,
they could copy the certificate to another machine.
If it were that easy we wouldn't have the problem with piracy (both
software and entertainment) that exists in the world today.
The fact is - once I download your PDF, I can pretty much do as I please
with it. If you don't want others to have it, don't distribute it.

You are going about it in a wrong way. Instead of encrypting PDF, you
should produce an e-book. Although e-books are not exactly hacker-
proof, either...

Do you have a recommandation about what e-book to use ?
I'm not very familiar about it

I decrypt with the private key.
But why, the crypted message is different every time I start the

Hello,
I'm trying to encrypt passwords in my app. After discovering that
there's no simple function to do this, I wrote a wrapper class which
decodes a string using UTF8, encrypts it with TripleDES and returns a
Base64-encoded string. The decryption function does the reverse, i.e.
Base64-decodes the string, decrypts it with the same Key and IV, and
encodes it again with UTF8. The problem is that after decrypting, the
8th character is...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
