decrypting a string

[arfeur]

Hello, I'm trying to use the software to decrypt a string (data has been crypted by a sensor and need to be decrypted on the computer).
I've tried to save the string into a file with the extension .aes but it doesn't seem to work.

Is there a special method to use?

Thank you for your help

Are you using this code to decrypt a string? There are C libraries for doing that on the download page: https://www.aescrypt.com/download/

Note that that code only handles version 0 files. This code is available for those who want to use it, but it still has not been fully tested and it will not decrypt files created with the other AES Crypt tools because those create files using the newest file format. Is that the issue you are encountering?

I did use the AESCrypt32 application.

The data are crypted by the sensor so I only know the code to encrypt it...
I'll give a try with the link you gave me hopping it will work, otherwise I might have to create my own one

Thank you for your answer
