Need encryption class to printable ascii

[Jim]

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can find a class that will perform encryption
resulting in cipher text consisting of only ascii printable
characters? I've found plenty of classes using DES, RSA, AES, etc.,
etc.

TIA, Jim

Generally, you would handle that separately from the encryption by
converting the raw binary data to an ASCII only version by either converting
the bytes to hexadecimal or by using BASE64 encoding. See:
