RE: Triple-DES algorithm on AS/400

["Rooney, Michael P" <michael.p.rooney@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Nabhgesh,

Your question is a little "open ended" as there are numerous native
and 3rd party options.

As you've already noted, one available native option is CIPHER.  We
use an API from a vendor named PrimeFactors.  Another option we've
been evaluating is using the BouncyCastle open source java classes.
The BC option provides access to multiple encryption algorithms, including
3Des.  It also provides classes for doing simple password based
encryption as well as OpenPGP.

Bottom line is, what are your requirements?  Are they AS/400 centric?
RPG centric?  The answers to these will better define some of your
options.

Hi everybody,

I am looking for a 3rd party tool or any native interface that supports
3DES (Triple-DES) algorithm for data encryption/decryption on V4R5 ?

I just got to know that there are certain tools like Twofish or _Cipher MI
but have restricted idea about their implementation on AS/400 (that too on
V4R5). Will truly appreciate if some one can provide me any sort of
guidance or interface logic on the same.  Thanks in advance.

Thanks & Regards,
Nabhgesh Chhibber
