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

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.

[quote author="BrianDHall" date="1259186739"]@skunkbad 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.[/quote] 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. |
