MarshallSoft Visual Basic AES Library

Encryption library based on AES for VB.

MarshallSoft AES Visual Basic Library (AES4VB) is a toolkit that allows implementation of strong encryption and decryption into a Windows Visual Basic, .NET, or VBA application. It saves quite a bit of software developers’ efforts in developing these functions. They can, instead focus on the main application that needs this support. AES4VB is a component (DLL) library. It provides the 256-bit Rijndael "Advanced Encryption Standard" (AES) as specified by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Most often the AES is the preferred method commonly used by many financial entities such as banks to protect their customer`s sensitive information.

AES is considered "strong encryption" and replaces the previous standard "Data Encryption Standard" (DES). This library implementation has been verified by running the "Advanced Encryption Standard Algorithm Validation Suite" (AESAVS). The DLLs will work under all versions of Windows, both Win32 and Win64 DLL`s are included in the delivery package. The toolkit supports ECB (Electronic Cookbook) as well as CBC (Cipher Block Chaining) mode. This library can be used from GUI mode or console mode. Program examples are provided to make the integration efforts minimal. This library will work with Microsoft Visual Basic 4/5/6 as well as Microsoft Visual Studio through VS2013. Once the library has been incorporated into an application, it can be distributed royalty free. The evaluation version is fully functional. So that, once you are satisfied with the trial, you could simply continue to use the code package after paying the registration fee.

The MarshallSoft AES Visual Basic Library (AES4VB) is a toolkit that allows software developers to easily implement strong encryption and decryption into a Windows Visual Basic, .NET, or VBA application.
