We also have a strange problem with our Sectigo (formerly known as Comodo) certificate, Windows 11 says the publisher is not trusted when running our software, while there is no problem under Windows 10. :~

When it comes to APIs you are much better off starting by talking to the people who created it - the chances that anyone on a random website has used your specific API and notices your question are vanishingly small - the API vendor should provide tech support or at least documentation and if they don't then why the heck are you using it? :D "I have no idea what I did, but I'm taking full credit for it." - ThisOldTony "Common sense is so rare these days, it should be classified as a super power" - Random T-shirt AntiTwitter: @DalekDave is now a follower!

Craptobros are dead set against any kind of regulation and authority in their spaces so they can scam each other with impunity. I think this man shouldn't have been jailed since he used the system exactly as designed. Any peon who willingly drops money into a Ponzi scheme (and all craptocoins are Ponzi schemes) deserves to have those money ripped away.

I'm sitting here chuckling thinking back to my first experience with Mac...IIRC it was a PowerMac 6100s from 1994ish. The phone company was throwing it away so my dad scavenged it and gave it to me complete with software, a printer, scsi cd reader and a huge 13'' color monitor. :thumbsup: It got me through my first year back at uni, but when I got into the programming classes, I had to finally get my first windows machine. While it's true that the colors looked fantastic on that little monitor, too much of the time it was displaying a sad mac face, or worse yet, a bomb icon! :laugh: I must have rebuilt that system at least a dozen times. Frustrating, but it taught me a lot. I do realize that the h/w and software (7.5.x) that I owned were from a time when quality was questionable/shoddy, and that quality was vastly improved by the time the iMac came out and has only gotten better. That said, I still (illogically I know) hold a grudge and refuse to get an iDevice for myself. (the wife is on iPad/iPhone #8...the benefit being when she has an iProblem, I don't gotta be involved! :laugh: another benefit is to avoid video calls...sorry, doesn't work on my android! :cool:) "Go forth into the source" - Neal Morse "Hope is contagious"

Yep, here we go.

We have film or video of every famous (or infamous) person who lived in the past 100+ years, which may be used to animate them. The only use for this new technology is to animate non-famous people, or people who lived before cinema was invented, assuming a photo or statue of them exists. I doubt very many Americans would care what "Abraham Lincoln" or "George Washington" said about current affairs, Italians would care what "Julius Casear" said about their government, or Germans would care what "Otto von Bismarck" had to say. Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows. -- 6079 Smith W.

Or best... use a notary :rolleyes: M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

The variable names and string in your example suggest you are trying to encrypt a password. That is almost always the wrong thing to do. If you're trying to write an authentication system, you should be storing a salted hash of the users' passwords, using a unique salt per record, and multiple iterations of a cryptographically-secure one-way hash. There is no way to "decrypt" the password; instead, you use the stored salt and repeat the hashing operation on the entered password, then compare it to the stored hash. Secure Password Authentication Explained Simply[^] Salted Password Hashing - Doing it Right[^] If instead you're trying to store passwords or access keys for third-party systems, where you actually need to retrieve the original password, then you need to consider how you're going to store the encryption keys securely; how you're going to rotate them to minimize the impact if one is leaked; any many other complex issues. For example, you seem to be using a fixed IV for every value you encrypt, which is not secure.

Agreed. The signtool.exe can show the complete chain from the root to your certificate. The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.
