I created my own encrypt / decrypt script and I can encrypt any kind of strings. I just need to know how can I use my script to encrypt a file like an image or a text file?
My script is working in PHP, C++ and VB.

1This is a programming question, despite being about encryption, so would be better suited to stackoverflow. Please be aware that home-built encryption methods are generally considered to be a bad idea due to lacking peer review over a long period.– MatthewAug 24, 2016 at 9:45

@Matthw thx for the suggestion :)– SinfAug 24, 2016 at 9:56

1Please do not migrate this to Stack Overflow. In it's current form it is to broad and will just be closed there. @Soheyl If you want help on Stack Overflow, you will need to ask a much more detailed and specific question. And you need to try something yourself, not just ask for the code. Read the Help Center over there before you ask.– AndersAug 24, 2016 at 10:29

2I do wonder what kind of encryption algorithm can only handle text and not binary...– billc.cnAug 24, 2016 at 12:21

1I agree that this question should not be migrated, but not because it deals with programming. Wring your own encryption/decryption script sounds eerily similar to rolling your own crypto algorithms. Don't be a Dave.– Verbal KintAug 24, 2016 at 12:44

Can be very basic: Encode file to base64, encrypt it, sent it to target, decrypt with your script to base64 and decode the base64 to a image file. But this has nothing to do with informaction security. Move to StackOverflow is better.

1Please don't suggest moving questions like these to Stack Overflow. The question doesn't show research effort, doesn't show code.... sending it to SO in its current form is just going to get it downvoted into oblivion. It should be toroughly improved before it's a candidate for migration. Aug 24, 2016 at 10:34

@Anders i think its a good question. I was doubting if security.stackexchange.com was the best exchange to ask this. Aug 24, 2016 at 11:05
