Publisher review:ActionCrypt is a modular class library that can be used to encode text using any encoding algorithm. ActionCrypt is a modular class library for usage with Flash applications. It can be used to encode text using any encoding algorithm for which a module is provided.
At this moment, only Blowfish under ECB mode is supported (note that this is not terribly secure). More encryption modes and algorithms will be following soon. This webpage provides documentation about the ActionCrypt website and provides links to similar libraries, code, and services using and/or dealing with the ActionCrypt library. Getting the Library
ActionCrypt is open source software and is licensed under the GNU LGPL (GNU Lesser General Public License).
It is available for download in several formats:
- Flash ActionScript source code format (.as),
- Optimized flasm Flash assembler format (.flasm - this will eventually be made available for all available combinations of block modes and algorithms)
- Optimized Flash bytecode binary format (.swf - binaries will also be provided for all available combinations of block modes and algorithms when possible)
Using the Library
ActionCrypt is very easy to use because of its modular design. By simply including the main library file, a file providing an implementation for the block mode, and a file implementing the algorithm, you can encrypt pretty much any information you'd like.
In reality, ActionCrypt should only be used in one of several ways. You should use ActionCrypt to:
- Allow your users to encrypt data and send the now secure information over an insecure channel for storage, providing a key to the player themselves. This is useful for storing passwords server-side.
- Hashed passwords are more vulnerable to attack than are heavily encrypted "self encoded" passwords.
- Allow your users to decrypt encrypted data retrieved from a server.
- Use third party tools to securely connect to a key server and retrieve a key. You should use key servers who are "AC Approved." That is to say, we recommend choosing a provider who has let us test their services fully and whom we trust with your data. (NOTE: any transmission of data over the Internet is susceptible to attack or eavesdrop. It is not recommended the use of the Internet to transmit keys.)
Speed of the Library
Flash was truly not meant to do such heavy calculations as are required by ActionCrypt. On slower machines, some of the calculations used to encrypt data are so strenuous that the user may be prompted to cancel the script. You should therefore always let the user know when data is being encrypted.
