Updates to AES Crypt for Windows
by Paul E. Jones 28 Nov '09

28 Nov '09

Folks, Over the weekend, I updated the AES Crypt code for windows. I did several things: . Created a native Windows console application that is not dependent on cygwin (this is just a modified version of the Linux code) . Updated the icons used in all version . Included the console application with both the 32-bit and 64-bit builds . Corrected the installation directory used in the 64-bit version posted previously (the 64-bit code was installing in the 32-bit directory) . Revised the version number to be 3.06 As a part of the revision to the icon, I tried (without success) to implement context-menu icon that is transparent. Apparently, I did not properly create device contexts, perform a TransparentBlt() correctly, or something: all I got was a black square. So, the icon is left as a bitmap as before with a white background. If you of you know how to improve this, I'd welcome the input :-) Paul PS - I only tested the new console application just a little. It did seem to encode and decode both text and binary files properly, but I will not swear that it's entirely error-free. If you wish to tinker with it, by all means do. All of the source code is online.

Hi, It was easy to spot the bug and fix it. The problem was related to the way the last block size was computed. Other changes I've also made: - Added a test suite to make sure AESCrypt.java works as expected. - Fixed a bug when reading the HMAC of an empty payload. - Make sure the "AES" header is correctly encoded. - Some typos in messages and documentation. Paul, would you please publish the new version on the web?

That should definitely not happen. The fact it is an XLS file should also make no difference at all. Perhaps there is a bug with either reading or writing the file modulo? David, would you be able to provide some guidance?

赵鲁, I am forwarding your message to the AES Crypt mailing list to see if others might be able to help you. However, it's not entirely clear what the issue is, so can you clarify it further?
