Description:

Uses chaotic permutations of the key to create an decrypted version of cipherText that was created by the ChaosEncrypt() function. This function uses a psuedo-chaotic stream cipher algorithm adapted to the constraints of FileMaker custom functions.

This function has not been subjected to rigorous cryptanalysis, and the author does not warranty the security of encrypted text.

Newer versions of this function are very unlikely to be backwards compatible.

Note: these functions are not guaranteed or supported by BrianDunning.com. Please contact the individual developer with any questions or problems.

just a made up SSN# 001-22-3333 and the key was 10 (record ID). I was just testing this in the script, so I kept it real simple.

I should specify that the script is basically, set variable of $value; ChaosDecrypt and then a set field step to set this $value into my field.

So are you encrypting "SSN# 001-22-3333", "001-22-3333", or "001223333"? I wont get a chance to look into this until tonight, but I'll let you know what I find and update this page with any fix I come up with.

Yep. I tried both with and without the dashes. Neither worked on the decryption. Not sure if I am doing something wrong or not...

For the public record, Paula and I looked into the issue, and it turned out that there was nothing wrong with the function.
