Encryption component
Posted: Fri Jun 10, 2022 5:41 pm
Is it possible to create a component for (light) encryption?
This doesn't have to be a NSA-proof component, but to get communication between two devices a little bit secure?
Let's say a component that uses a certain key to encrypt/decrypt a message that goes in or comes out of the component.
The key could be something the Flowcode user generates and that would be the same for encrypt/decrypt.
For instance the component has a parameter "key" and a key generated by the user is used.
Parameter that is an "encrypt" feature that takes a string.
The component does things to the string, using the key and some hocus-pocus and generates an unreadable output.
If this output is used as an input for the decrypt function of this macro, and the key is ok, the output is encrypted again.
