Very Right sir,
I can imagine that this will solve our problem easily.
tux4life send me the enc and dec code in reply #8 of this post/thread and i ranit successfully and it worked.

Mathematically its ok
now the problem that tux4life is saying that we use it without file handling
actually problem pop-ups when we use file handling, i will explain the reason.

let say in the input file written is "a"
the ASCII code of " a" is 97
according to our formula i m using 200 mod because 200 mod is sufficient for ASCII code correct me if i m wrong. and 37 and 173 are modulo multiplicative inverse of each other base 200.
so for enc
(97*37)%200 = 189
now dec
(189*173)%200=97
according to my program and tux4life program quoted in number 8 reply, works the same
now problem arises at the place which i m againand again trying to covince is
when it saves the enc data into file let say for 97 it stores 189 it saves some equivalent charater of 189

when it comes to decryption it cannot recognise whether it is 1 or 18 or 189, somebody told me the problem is here
for detail kindly look at the post number 16 of this thread.

hope this might help u get my problem

Best wishes!

It has nothing to do with files. It has to do with what a char can store versus what an integer can store. On my machine, a char is 8 bits and an int is 32 bits, thus a char ranges from -128 to 127. On my machine, it starts to go haywire when I try to encrypt 4. 4 * 37 = 148, the first number encountered that is over 127. All fine and good with integers. Now decrypt:

148 * 173 = 25, 604
25,604 % 200 = 4

which was the original number. All fine and good, except that isn't what's happening since it's treating 148 as -108 due to overflow. multiply -108 by 173 and you get -18,684. Take the mod of that by 200 and you get -84, which isn't 4. Post 7 tests it with integers, and there's no overflow. With a char, there's overflow, so everything gets screwed up. See the program below. The way it is, it doesn't deal with overflow and thus breaks. Comment the current functions out and uncomment the commented functions and compile/run it again and it should work. The commented functions do the math with integers rather than chars, so there's no overflow.

its working like a charm.

now if we have a file which contains charaters and numbers

e.g

i am trying to solve this problem dice 6 months, 6 months are equal to 30*6=189 days

will it enc and dec the input file successfully, if yes where shoud i put this code in my orignal program so that it work for me.

suggest the location where i put your code or please put the code in the program so that i can give input from the file, and also get output in the file just like my old program.

the code you have given , what i think will run in linux but my old program wasnot working in linux as header and syntax are different in linux c.

please help me out so that i can give inout from file and output to file as in my old program.

Regards!

You don't have any Linux specific headers in the code you posted in post 5. You have C headers. Make them C++ headers (i.e. stdlib.h turns into cstdlib, time.h turns into ctime, etc.).

Your basic skeleton could be this:

 Help with Code Tags 
 C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
char encrypt (char c);
char decrypt (char c);
// the above functions are the ones I wrote
 
string encryptString (string line);
string decryptString (string line);
// the above functions call the top functions a character at a time to encrypt an entire string.
 
void encryptFile (char* plainTextFileName, char* encryptedTextFileName);
void decryptFile (char* plainTextFileName, char* encryptedTextFileName);
// these functions open up the files, read a line at a time from the input file, call encryptString or decryptString for each line, and output the altered line to the output file.
char encrypt (char c);
char decrypt (char c);
// the above functions are the ones I wrote

string encryptString (string line);
string decryptString (string line);
// the above functions call the top functions a character at a time to encrypt an entire string.

void encryptFile (char* plainTextFileName, char* encryptedTextFileName);
void decryptFile (char* plainTextFileName, char* encryptedTextFileName);
// these functions open up the files, read a line at a time from the input file, call encryptString or decryptString for each line, and output the altered line to the output file.

Thanks Sir,

I tried to put this code in my program but lots of errors

Can u make these changes for me in the program that i send on number 16 reply of this thread.

I m zero level programmer in c,
as i worked mostly on linux,server and data comm.

looking forward to your possitive response.

we are near to the solution but unfortunatly i m layman in c language programing, i.e why i cannot cross the bridge.

is there anyone who can combine all this and edit the program, so that it may be a turn key solution.

i hace the code for RC4 algo which will be the next step after this program.

i will encrypt the enc file with rc4 algo which uses XOR

and send it to sensor node
the receing sensor node will xor again the file which will give the enc file
and the dec ot plaint text sended by the sender will be the output.

then i will put this code in NS2 simulator which is ready for just this program.

my 80% work is complete waiting for this program.

SOS please edit this program for me and give me a turn key solution.

means
the orignal program may be changed acording to the suggestions given by tux4life and VernonDozier

Go to post 5. Change your red line to:

Help with Code Tags

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

cryp = encrypt (x);

Change your green line to:

Help with Code Tags

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

decr = decrypt (x);

Where encrypt and decrypt are the functions I posted earlier.

If the original program works, then I would imagine that all that is needed is the above adjustment.

Okay, I really have enough of your double postings in your thread:

a) you won't get help faster by doing this
b) you just make your own thread unreadable
c) you waste your time, use that time to try figuring out the solution yourself
d) code tags seem useless to you, how did you miss using them?
Information about code tags is found all over Daniweb:

•

1) in the Rules you were asked to read when you registered
2) in the text at the top of this forum
3) in the announcement at the top of this forum titled Please use BB Code and Inlinecode tags
4) in the sticky post above titled Read Me: Read This Before Posting
5) any place CODE tags were used
6) Even on the background of the box you actually typed your message in!

e) several other reasons: like asking to create the code for you

I don't see any reason why I should help you, the reasons why I shouldn't help you are denoted above.

I'm going to quote what I already have said before in this thread:

What I want is to help you, what I don't want is spend my time to create a full-fledged encryption solution for you (or in other words: I rather provide paths to the solution, not the entire solution itself), so that you can turn it in, and pass (or fail ) using my work, that wouldn't be fair, not? The point of the assignments you get is to show off your knowledge, show what you can. This means that you have to do the work, passing using someone else's work won't get you far in real life. The point is that you do the entire thing yourself (with some small help and hints from the forum members (the so-called "gurus") here), and that you finally (when you finished the program) can say: I did it!

P.S.: all your double postings are horrible, I would opt for an immediate thread lock.

If you don't agree with me, then please go on and double post until you get banned, I don't care about that.

And here, a bunch of links you should read (and agree with) before making your next reply to this thread:

Oh yes, and how do you explain the several minutes difference between all those posts then?
The post above this one (if not already removed by a moderator) is just the evidence that it hasn't something to do with your connection (it just again demonstrates you haven't read my previous post(s), otherwise you should have known you should use code tags, but no, copy-paste seems easier to you).
