include - library

Wich include and library is necessary please?

Ans: It should be pbe.lib. Because the classes implementing PBE are provided in pbe.dll.

to Tote: This mistake was corrected.

Security of sensitive data is a very relevant aspect while developing reliable applications. You should never save important user's data without encryption. Symbian offers a subset of the cryptographic libraries which you could use to store and restore of sensitive data with a high level of security.

This article demonstrates how to use password based encryprion. I successfully used this example in one of my old applications. The article also contains the link to the working example which is convenient to use when developing own application. The code example contains detailed comments which improve understanding.

Cryptographic libraries are not the parts of the standard SDK. Do not forget to download these libraries, you could find link for downloading in this article.
