Example for both AES-128 and ChaCha20 to Encrypt Binary Data

See more Encryption Examples

Demonstrates the use of the new EncryptBd and DecryptBd methods introduced in Chilkat v9.5.0.67 to encrypt/decrypt binary bytes.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.67 or greater.

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

// (The "base64_mime" encoding was added in Chilkat v9.5.0.67.
// The "base64" encoding emits a single line of base64, whereas
// "base64_mime" will emit multi-line base64 as it would appear
// in MIME.)
