One of the things I need it for is to encrypt strings that will then be used as filenames.

One of the things I need it for is to encrypt strings that will then be used as filenames. You could just take the binary and convert it to base 64. If the base 64 text is to be used as file names, it would be better to use '.' and '_' instead of base 64's standard '/' and '+'. --Mike Amling Back to top Jim Guest Posted: Tue Jan 13, 2004 5:00 pm    Post subject: Re: Need java class for printable ascii encrypting Thx. I've gone ahead and converted one from vb to java. I'll post somewhere when I get a chance. - J nobody <nobody (AT) example (DOT) com> wrote Quote: Jim wrote: Hi, Does anyone know of an available java class that will encrypt to cipher text consisting of only printable ascii characters?

One of the things I need it for is to encrypt strings that will then be used as filenames. You take the bytes you get out of the cipher and feed them to a base64 encoder.
