Hello All,

we have a requirement stating that, the output of the report should be downloaded and the downloaded data should be in Encrypted form, Is it possible to encrypt the data in that manner?

Regards,

@vinraaj: That isn't encryption, though. It simply saves the text in an un-readable format.

To the poster, this has been asked and discussed before. You'll find it by searching and the help files also discuss digital signing and encryption of files.

Hi Bharath

Can i ask you the need for encryption? I mean, is it for the bank or someone else? I think you need to be sure which data encryption technique your client is looking for data security. There may be some like Hash Algorithm which is quite common.

I think you will only need to use the FM: FIEB_PASSWORD_ENCRYPT. Once you are done, you can send across the fiel to your client and there they will run a separate program which calls in the FM: FIEB_PASSWORD_DECRYPT.

Hope this helps.

Bad idea. That's an easy method to hack even if you switch the key. Digital signing and digital enveloping are the way to go as I already mentioned. There's plenty of documentation for SSF techniques in the help files.
