Hi,

I want to encrypt user submitted data(email for example), and decrypt it later when required.

How to?

Thanks

Hehe! Getting tired of people not reading, even though their topic is in the userguide headlines? I do too…

I read this page in the manual, but have a question. If I encrypt the contents of an email, are there email clients that can use the encryption key to decrypt the email? I’ve never seen a feature like this in my email client, but I’m certainly no expert on email clients.

The reason I ask is, I need to be able to do this, and haven’t worked out how it will be done.

You’ll want to look into PGP, Pretty Good Privacy. The public key / private key system is the one used in most email clients, which is not directly supported by the Encryption library in CI.

I was checking out PGP last night. From what I could gather, it looks like I would have to have root access to the server to install PGP, and I do not.
