Hi folks,

I'm just curious. Is there any software tool out there that can determine what is an encryption key if you input the unencrypted data and the resulting encrypted data?

Basically, I'm wondering if someone could potentially decrypt the contents of any entire DB field if that someone only knows what the unencrypted results would be for a sampling or a single record of that DB.

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure that that is theoretically impossible.
