[Exist-open] AES encryption from XQuery?

[Olaf S. <ch...@sy...>]

Hi,

assume I want to AES encrypt a plaintext string in XQuery like this

 let $bitstring := encrypt-aes-128($plaintext,$key)
 return encode-somehow($bitstring)

what options do I have?

There is no native encrypt() function in eXist?  or am I just blind?

There is EXpath crypto, downloaded it, but usage is not obvious to me.
Amyone have examples?  Is this actively maintained?  Would you use it?

Use Java classes from XQuery?


Thanks for your comments,
Olaf
