Labview implementation of file encryption.

[Diarmid Milligan]

Wanting to encrypt the contents of a file with LabVIEW. Therefore looking
for a LabVIEW implementation of a file encryption algorithm or is there another
wway to do this ?

thanks

I have one available at http://www.cs.wcupa.edu/~tstarn/LabVIEW.html.
It's of my own creation. Not being a cryptanalyst I couldn't tell you
how secure it is but it was fun to make.

LV has several tools that allow you to mangle files pretty good. I
assume you are working with an ASCII file that could otherwise be read
with a text editor. You can read in the ASCII string, then cast the
string to a different type, swap bytes, reorder the string... you can
implement a fractal folding of the data if you wish to.

No built-in tools, but it's quite easy to create your own. Or just PGP
if that suits your needs.

Hi David,

wow, that's what I call "user orientation": answering 17 year old threads! 😄
