This section contains functions that enable users to handle encryption and encoding of text strings.

Functions Summary

base64Decode — Decodes from Base64. This is useful when transferring data like retrieving images stored in a database.
base64Encode — Encodes text in Base64.
decrypt — Decrypts text with AES Decryption using a 16, 32, 64, or 128 bit cipher.
encrypt — Encrypts text with AES encryption using a 16, 32, 64, or 128 bit cipher.
escapeHtml — Escapes the given html removing traces of offending characters that could be wrongfully interpreted as markup.
hmacSHA1 — Computes a signature over the data using HMAC - SHA1
hmacSHA256 — Computes a signature over the data using HMAC - SHA256
rsaSHA256 — Computes a signature over the data using RSA - SHA256
urlDecode — Decodes text from URL format. This is useful when parsing a URL address used by a REST command.
urlEncode — Encodes text in URL format.
