crypt.encode

Table aliases for the Base64 and LZ4 helpers.

Syntax

crypt.encode(data: string) -> string

Parameters

Returns

Description

crypt.encode is part of the Crypt library. Crypt functions process data locally. Keys, hashes and encrypted buffers remain inside the process.

The operation is performed immediately using the arguments supplied at the call site.

The aliases crypt.decode(data), crypt.base64encode(data), crypt.base64decode(data), crypt.base64_encode(data), crypt.base64_decode(data), crypt.lz4compress(data), crypt.lz4decompress(data) resolve to the same implementation.

Example

local encoded = crypt.base64encode("hello")
print(crypt.base64decode(encoded))
print(crypt.lz4decompress(crypt.lz4compress("data")))

Notes

• Aliases: crypt.decode(data), crypt.base64encode(data), crypt.base64decode(data), crypt.base64_encode(data), crypt.base64_decode(data), crypt.lz4compress(data), crypt.lz4decompress(data).
• Never log keys or decrypted buffers in production scripts.
