How we can encode and decode strings


Adrian Brookbank
Hi David, Need to encode and decode string in App Builder. Is possible? I know it can encode (STRHash)... Am I missing something? Thanks, AJ

Hello Adrian,

I think we must put clear what we wanted... encode? encrypt? hash? Maybe you can post here what you wanted? That is, in order to see if one thing or another can do the job.

Hi David, Sorry should have been clear, App Builder App 1 >>>> Encode String >>>> (SERVER) >>>> App Builder App 2 >>> Decode String. Can't send clear text. Wasn't sure if HASH would work. Thanks!

Hello Adrian,

No problem. First of all... a server must can receive clear text for sure... and then put it available for another app.... but anyway, suposing we really want to encode the text and then decode it, probably what you are looking for are the actions: "StrToBase64" and their counter part "Base64ToStr".



Adrian Brookbank
Yeah i'm sending clear text, just want it encoded. Thanks David, great help as ever.

You're welcome, Adrian! :-)

To be completely safe you could encrypt all the communications between the App and Server and vise versa. I know https handles the communication security, yet one point is to store only the encrypted data in the server and never have any flat text available there for the data that are important to be kept safe. So the safest way could be using asymmetric encryption and avoid any encryption at the server that is storing the data. It would be like App encrypt--->storing server--> decrypting server---> app. You could use JSENCRYPT to encrypt and decrypt at the app side and OPENSSL at server side for the same. http://travistidwell.com/jsencrypt/. I can leave here more details if it is what you are looking for. Security is not my profession so there could be security flaws here too, or some steps could be simply unnecessary.
