Hi,

Did you install the botan development package ?

thanks for reply
i only build botan from source code (with nmake)
can you tell me where i can get botan development package

SGaist

Nothing wrong with using your own self built version.
Where did you install the library ?
Do you have the library file ending with a d ?

i only have botan.lib in C:\Botan\lib
and i cant find library file ending with a d
I also build botan based of guide in https://botan.randombit.net/handbook/building.html

Then you should link to botan and not botand.

win32:CONFIG(release, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../../../../Botan/lib/ -lbotan
else:win32:CONFIG(debug, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../../../../Botan/lib/ -lbotand

INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/../../../../../Botan/include
DEPENDPATH += $$PWD/../../../../../Botan/include

when i add lib on qt this line add in pro file
also when i delete else:win32:CONFIG(debug, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../../../../Botan/lib/ -lbotand i got more error
everything seems good until i try to compile

SGaist

Either you need to also build botan in debug mode so you have the two versions of the library or you change the .pro file to always link to the version you have built.

when i edit pro file and remove other one its give me more error
how can i build debug version of botan?

SGaist

Because you removed the line trying to link to botand -and you likely have now a lot of undefined symbols.

Just use:

LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../../../../Botan/lib/ -lbotan

As for building botan in debug mode, tell cmake you want a Debug build.

I test what you say
this time i get even more error

my .pro

LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../../../../Botan/lib/ -lbotan

INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/../../../../../Botan/include
DEPENDPATH += $$PWD/../../../../../Botan/include

my full code:

#include "mainwindow2.h"
#include "ui_mainwindow2.h"
#include "botan/botan.h"
#include "botan/pipe.h"
#include "botan/aes.h"
#include "botan/filters.h"

MainWindow2::MainWindow2(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent),
    ui(new Ui::MainWindow2)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);
    Botan::InitializationVector init;
}

MainWindow2::~MainWindow2()
{
    delete ui;
}

void MainWindow2::on_pushButton_clicked()
{
    Botan::AutoSeeded_RNG rng;
    Botan::SymmetricKey key(rng,32);
    Botan::InitializationVector IV(rng,16);
    Botan::Pipe pipe(Botan::get_cipher("AES-256/CBC",key,IV,Botan::ENCRYPTION),new Botan::Hex_Encoder);
    pipe.process_msg(ui->textEdit_input->toPlainText().toStdString());
    std::string m1=pipe.read_all_as_string(0);
    ui->textEdit_output_E->setText(QString::fromStdString(m1));
}

Are you sure that the library was built for thé same architecture as the Qt version you are using ?

i see a video in yotube use botan 1.10.8 on QT 4.8.5
you think its not support new verson of qt?

SGaist

You should use the latest version of botan for security reasons.

In any case, it's completely unrelated to my question: aare the architectures of your botan build and Qt the same ?

sorry for this question, but how i cant found out (im new at c++ and qt)

SGaist

You can use dumpbin as explained here

i check botan-ci.exe, here is result

and here is botan.dll

both is 64bit
and also my qt compiler is 64bit too

SGaist

Did you also compile botan with MinGW ?

@SGaist said in best way to use AES Encryption in QT:

no i compile it with nmake
i need to compile it with MiniGW?

SGaist

If you used nmake, it means that in fact you used Visual Studio to build botan. So there's your issue. You can't mix C++ code built with MinGW with C++ code built with Visual Studio.

Tow options here:

rebuild botan using MinGW
change your Qt version and use the one that matches your Visual Studio version

you recommend what version of qt for this?
i think its beter to compile botan again..

SGaist

As I said: the one matching your current version of Visual Studio.
