Adding methods to NSData and NSString using categories to provide AES256 encryption on iOS

Raw

Readme.markdown

Important notice

I took down this Gist due to concerns about the security of the encryption/decryption part of this code (see comments below).

Rob Napier (@rnapier) has created a publicly available class that provides similar AES encryption/decryption functionality at https://github.com/rnapier/RNCryptor.

Have you pulled the entire project, or just dropped the files into another project? The failed symbols are from the unit tests. You don't need those in a real project. If you want to build the unit tests, you need to link with SenTestingKit.framework (this comes with Xcode).

ok thanks. Now when I try to build in iOS 4.3 i got this error
dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _CCKeyDerivationPBKDF
and
dyld: Symbol not found: _CCKeyDerivationPBKDF
but it works fine in simulator 5.0

See the discussion here: RNCryptor/RNCryptor#22. RNCryptor is currently designed to be iOS5 only. I'm considering whether to modify that.
