This functions performs the Tiny Encryption Algorithm on the given string and returns the base64 representation of the encrypted block of data.

Syntax

string teaEncode ( string data, string key )

Required Arguments

  • data: The block of data you want to encrypt
  • key: The key that should be used for encryption (Only first 16 characters are used)

Returns

Returns the base64 representation of the encrypted data if the encryption process was successfully completed, false otherwise.

Client

This example creates a /teaencrypt command, which performs the TEA on a given string with the specified key, if any.

[lua]
function encryptString( cmd, theString, theKey )
    if ( theString ) then
        if ( not theKey ) then
            theKey = string.rep( string.char( math.random( string.byte( "a" ), string.byte( "Z" ) ) ), 10 ) -- Generate a random key of 10 characters if no key was passed in as an argument
        end
        local encodedString = teaEncode( theString, theKey ) -- Encode the string with the key
        outputChatBox( "The encoded string is: " .. tostring( encodedString ) .. " (used key: " .. theKey .. ")" )
    else
        outputChatBox( "Syntax: /" .. cmd .. " [string] <[key]>" )
    end
end
addCommandHandler( "teaencrypt", encryptString )
