Pmedwards25 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I'm trying to make a server API in PHP, which will be contacted by VB.NET (WinForms) on the client. This is what should happen: The client form will contact the API with a string "A". If A exists in the server's connected SQL database, the API will return "A" encrypted with an associated string "B" in the database (result "C"). The client will attempt to decrypt C using a locally provided string (which ought to be B, if all is well). I can figure out the encryption and decryption in VB.NET using 128-bit ECB AES. However, since I'm new to PHP, I don't want to write an API that isn't compatible with my VB.NET decryption suite. So which encryption and decryption suite/APIs should I use in PHP and VB so as to be cross-platform compatible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boompa Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) You can use mcrypt with AES in ECB mode. Edited June 22, 2015 by boompa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pmedwards25 Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 What arguments would I pass for "cipher" and "mode"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
