Encrypting data

Former Member — Wed, 03 Aug 2005 10:53:33 GMT

Hi,

I want to encrypt data before sending it via an RFC call.

I want to know if there is any function module(or any other way) which can be used to encrypt data based upon the various popular encryption algorithms(like RSA, DES) so that it can be provided as a plugin feature to the client where he can choose whatever algorithm he wants to and is not restricted by my choice.

Please help me and thanks in advance.

Hi Frank,

It was real good of you to provide that link but it does not help me much because it talks about ncoding URLs in HTTP requests.

What I exactly require is some functionality using which I can encrypt my parameters(like an internal table) to an RFC call. I want to use standard encryption algos like RSA,DES for this purpose so that we can provide this functionality as a plugin to the user.

Pls help...

Vikas,

you might want to look into SSF (Secure Store & Forward) Architecture:

I am not aware of standalone ABAP functions / classes in standard R/3 that would fit your need for strong encryption.
