World: r3wp

I bought it just 2 days ago. But I think there is no SDK for 2.7.8.

When I click on "REBOL/SDK 2.7.8 Released 9-Jan-2011" link on rebol.com 
website it goes to http://www.rebol.com/sdk.htmland there is a message 
"We have posted the 2.7.7 SDK packages for a variety of platforms." 
A bit confusing. But there is just 2.7.7 on download page.

There is a SDK 2.7.8, it is just not publicly available. You need 
to ask RT for it (using the feedback form I guess) or stick with 
2.7.6 (which is the SDK version I am still using for production code). 
2.7.8 has its own issues, like the CALL/OUTPUT data corruption bug 
on Windows (http://www.rebol.net/cgi-bin/rambo.r?id=4416&).

Ok now I found the URL to download SDK 2.7.8. There is download URL 
for 2.7.7 in the email that RT send me when I purchase. I changed 
the url and find the 2.7.8.

But I got 404 not found when I try 2.7.6. I'll send a msg to RT. 
Thank you.

May I use my license file for all of them? 2.7.6 to 2.7.8, or do 
I need to request a new license file as well?

The same license file will work.

Ok, my license file works with 2.7.8 also. And rebcmd.exe does not 
crash. Executable compiled with encmd.exe also does not crash.

SDK v2.7.6 is available from here: http://www.rebol.net/builds/sdk/

Ok, thanks a lot!

You're welcome.

Are the source files for the Linux SDK the same as the source files 
for the Windows SDK?

Does anyone have a good system for developing using Linux, then compiling 
using the Windows SDK?

Which cmd or SDK version is the best using call/output on Win?

I suspect the answer will depend on which version of Windows you 
are using. If you use Nenad's call.r, you should be able to use any 
version.


It's available as part of the Cheyenne source - which can be downloaded 
from http://cheyenne-server.org/download.shtml

I was not aware that Nenads call also supports output. 
And indeed win-call/output was not working for me.

So far 2.7.5. 2.6.2, 2.5.6 and 2.5.125 is working for me, but the 
cmd window is annoying, especially as my calls take a long time.

I use win-call/output in the Red testing framework - it works on 
both Win/XP and Win/7 under REBOL 2.7.8

the only downside is that it can't be run under Core.

The best what I get with e.g >> win-call/output "dir"  str: make 
string! 1024  is  either "The operation completed successfully." 
and then an empty file with the name "call-error-695.log" and following 
"A file can not be created if it already exists."
But this problem probably belongs to cheyene e.a. .groups,.

The biggest issue with CALL on different versions is whether you 
use a version that requires /SHOW, which was added in newer releases 
and causes some compatibility issues. If your process works without 
showing the window, it shouldn't much matter (unless you go waaaayyy 
back).

Folks, I'd like to use encryption, to encrypt some json records and 
deploy it to the browser and decrypt it using this algorithm at  
http://www.fourmilab.ch/javascrypt/javascrypt.html

to do this, I need to encrypt my json records using Rebol in the 
server using 'crypt scheme. Do you have a cookbook to do this?

I tried the recipe but it's giving invalid port. I have SDK, license 
file, but it's not working.

I'd like to encrypt json text using Rebol and AES encryption. And 
decrypt this using javascript. Do you have any idea how to do this 
using Rebol. I mean the AES encryption. I mean : txt: "blablablba" 
 key: #CEDEFF.. encrypt  txt key   ...  using AES rhinjael algorithm 
.. thanks

If I use  encloak, I really don't know how to decrypt this using 
javascript.

rondon,

you have to check that the choosen encryption scheme is compatible 
on both sides. at least SHA-1 / MD5 should work.

here you have some javasript routines:
	http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/sha1.html
	http://pajhome.org.uk/crypt/md5/index.html

howto rebol:
http://www.rebol.com/docs/words/wchecksum.html


just send some test data and adjust the encryption scheme at the 
javasript side.

with luck, the rebol implementation is suitable for the routines 
above.

ps: please report which one works ;-)

Rondon, Rebol encryption is well described in this secure document 
http://www.rebol.com/how-to/encrypt.html#section-15

Which refers to http://www.rebol.org/view-script.r?script=crypt.r

I tried to do AES encryption but anything I encypted was not de-crpytable 
by standard tools

Graham, you probably just had the IV or padding wrong.

TomBon: hashing and encryption are not the same thing.

Gab, at the time I asked if anyone had any success in this ... and 
there was no one.

Hi Folks I tried the simple example

crypt: func [
    "Encrypts or decrypts data and returns the result."
    data [any-string!] "Data to encrypt or decrypt"
    akey [binary!] "The encryption key"
    /decrypt "Decrypt the data"
    /binary "Produce binary decryption result."
    /local port
][
    port: open [
        scheme: 'crypt
        direction: pick [encrypt decrypt] not decrypt
        key: akey
        padding: true
    ]
    insert port data
    update port
    data: copy port
    close port
    if all [decrypt not binary] [data: to-string data]
    data
]

A full function header is used so you can get help on the function 
later:

help crypt
The previous examples now become:

data: crypt "This is a string" #{1122334455667788}

probe crypt/decrypt data #{1122334455667788}

probe doesn't show "this is a string" but another sequence of characters

I think I'm gonna use this cybersafer script .

I've found this 2 scripts:

http://user1.matsumoto.ne.jp/~goma/js/blowfish.html

http://code.google.com/p/crypto-js/

I'm thinking to convert line by line. I really don't know it's not 
in the Rebol/Core. Years ago, it should have a market value to pay 
for it, but now,  I really don't know why Carl doesn't include this 
in Rebol/Core.

At least it must be for free in R3

Rondon, Using Rebol View 2.7.8.3.1 on Win/XP I ran your test and 
decrypt gives back "This is a string"

Mike, I'm using Rebol /Cmd, because when I call rebol/view at my 
isp, I receive an error of libX not found..

gab, right. e.g md5 for simple password security and rsa for dataflow. 
the javascript link above containing RSA functions too just to step 
in.

Graham: IIRC Maarten was able to use AES with REBOL and OpenSSL. 
I seem to remember that I had tried that and was successful as well. 
In any case, the only reason I can think of that would make it not 
work is a difference in the IV and padding.

Graham: I was able to implement TLS1.0 protocol configured to use 
the TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA cipher-suite. All the mentioned algorithms 
were calculated using the  build-in Rebol2 encryption functionality. 
I had no problems regarding the compatibility. I haven't tried the 
cipher-suite with the AES enctryption though but my guess it will 
work as well.

Cyphre: do you plan to release it in open source? Is your implementation 
client-side, server-side or both? It would be a great addition to 
Cheyenne to support SSL natively.

That's how imo SSL support should be implemented - not as an hardwired 
C implementation, but using Rebol crypto facilities, and being part 
of Core, not Command ...

Interesting ...

Ditto on what doc says
