Compression, encryption, encoding and the reverse ...

Putting it all together now, we can make a simple function that is handy for sending encrypted messages to friends.


function compress_encrypt_encode (s, k)
  return utils.base64encode (aes.encrypt (utils.compress (s), k), true)
end -- compress_encrypt_encode 

function decode_decrypt_decompress (s, k)
  return utils.decompress (aes.decrypt (utils.base64decode (s), k))
end  -- decode_decrypt_decompress

The function compress_encrypt_encode:

Compresses the text you supply
Encrypts it with the supplied key
Base-64 encodes it, suitable for putting in an email or "tell" or similar (change "true" to "false" if you want a single-line rather than breaking every 76 columns)

Example:



print (compress_encrypt_encode (
