Transition from RandomizeKey to GenRandomBytesENC

Provides instructions for replacing deprecated RandomizeKey method calls with GenRandomBytesENC. DataFlex

Use ChilkatAx-win32.pkg

Procedure Test

    // The RandomizeKey method is deprecated:

    // Generates and sets a random 32-byte (256-bit) secret key.
    Send ComRandomizeKey To hoCrypt

    // ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // Do the equivalent using GenRandomBytesENC followed by SetEncodedKey
