' This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Dim crypt As Chilkat.Crypt2
Set crypt = Chilkat.NewCrypt2

' The password string is transformed to a binary secret key by computing the 
' MD5 digest (of the utf-8 password) to obtain 16 bytes.  
' If the KeyLength is greater than 16 bytes, then the MD5 digest of the Base64 encoding 
' of the utf-8 password is added.  A max of 32 bytes of key material is generated, and 
' this is truncated to the actual KeyLength required.

crypt.CryptAlgorithm = "aes"
crypt.KeyLength = 256


password = "this is my password"
crypt.SetSecretKeyViaPassword password

' Examine the resulting SecretKey in hex:
Debug.Print "Computed Secret Key = "; crypt.GetEncodedKey("hex")

' Now perform the same computation manually:
Dim sb As Chilkat.StringBuilder
Set sb = Chilkat.NewStringBuilder

crypt.HashAlgorithm = "md5"
crypt.Charset = "utf-8"
crypt.EncodingMode = "hex"
Dim success As Boolean
success = sb.Append(crypt.HashStringENC(password))


passwordBase64 = crypt.EncodeString(password,"utf-8","base64")
success = sb.Append(crypt.HashStringENC(passwordBase64))

Debug.Print "Manually Computed = "; sb.GetAsString()

' The output is:
' Computed Secret Key = 210D53992DFF432EC1B1A9698AF9DA16C7E90518F90E24828F78EC9E0A413B36
' Manually Computed = 210D53992DFF432EC1B1A9698AF9DA16C7E90518F90E24828F78EC9E0A413B36
