Troi Coding plug-in 1.6  

Send Secure Email!

This plug-in adds encryption and encoding functions to FileMaker Pro.With the Troi Coding plug-in you can make sure information can only be read by the persons you want. With it you can encrypt fields using the powerful newDES encryption scheme, so that your sensitive data is secure.

List of Features

FileMaker Pro 5.5 and MacOS X Compatible

The Coding Plug-in 1.6 has been developed for FileMaker Pro 5.5 and is made compatible for Mac OS X. The Mac OS version of the plug-in is now a so called 'Super Fat' plug-in that will run on Mac OS 8, 9 and Mac OS X. Troi Coding Plug-in is completely compatible with FileMaker Pro 5.5, but also works for any version of FileMaker Pro 4.0 or later.

Encryption and Decryption using newDES algorithm

With the Coding plug-in you can encrypt fields using the powerful newDES encryption scheme, so that your sensitive data is secure. This function will produce text that looks like this:

encrption sample text

So can you read this? =)

Compress and Decompress text

You can compress text using the ZLIB compression.

Send Sensitive data via Email

With the new SafeAscii function you can create data that can be sent safely over the Internet, for example via email. It will convert fields that contain higher ASCII, into a format that contains lower ASCII only. For example the text: "•Günther and Børg" will be coded like this:

%Troi SafeAscii v1.0
.VG.Pnther-Pand-PB/>rg
%End SafeAscii v1.0

This can be decoded again, to recreate all the original higher ASCII characters. More importantly if you use this function on encrypted text it will also be converted to a format that is safe to send over the Internet.

Export and import data without risk

The plug-in also has a function SafeShortAscii, which is a variant of the SafeAscii function. With this you can export any text field, including encrypted data, to an export file.

And more...

The plug-in has a generic new code function, which makes it possible to Encrypt a field with the key as the parameter. This opens up new possibilities, like decrypting without the need for a script. Below are all functions of the Coding plug-in:

User Manual and Extensive examples

We've added 8 sample databases which show you how to implement the functions. And we've also included a user guide to the download.

You can view the user guide online: Coding User Guide.pdf.
(You need Navigator and Acrobat Reader plug-in for this).

What can you do with the Coding plug-in ?

Suggested uses of this plug-in are:

  • Make sure that confidential data stays confidential
  • Share Medical data over the Internet
  • Verify the correctness of important text
  • Compress large texts

Of course much more is possible. The best way to see if it can help you is to try it out. Please mail us if you have an interesting application of the Coding plug-in. We are always interested in what you can do with it.
