Encrypting data in vbscript

Hi,

I have to encrypt some data using an encryption algorithm like TrippleDES or
AES in VBScript. After searching I found that two system32 dlls "advadpi.dll"
and "crypt32.dll" provides this functionality. But it seems these dlls are
not COM dlls. Hence I am unable to use these dlls in vbscript.
I have two questions here:
1. Please some one let me know whether I am reffering correct dlls or not to
encrypt data in vbscript.
2. And if I am referring to the correct dlls then please put some light on
how to use these dlls in vbscript.
Thanks in advance.

Regards,

CAPICOM might also suit your needs. The sdk has scripted examples.

Thanks a bunch joe,
CAPICOM looks good to me. I want use this in my vbscript. Can I directly use
it or there are some dependencies on it. If so, could you please let me know
what are they and how can I use CAPICOM in my vbscript to encrypt my data.

I observed that CAPICOM ships with OS by default. Hence it can be used
directly and is not a dependent dll.

Thanks

Hi,

Please clarify the below questions.

1. I found that CAPICOM is producing different output for the same set of
plaintext, algorithm and key length by using a password. Why is this so?
2. An algorithm such as 3DES takes 128 bit key but CAPICOM takes a plain
text password instead of a key. Why is this so?
