Are there any classes in Cocoa for simple text file or plist file encryption? I just need something I can point at a file on disk and do simple encryption without a password or key and then decode it later. Doesn't have to be fancy or even all that secure - just something simple and easy to use.

Jeff Lamarche postend a category for NSData that uses the AES encryption on his blog at <http://iphonedevelopment.blogspot.com/>


@interface NSData(AES)
- (NSData *)AESEncryptWithPassphrase:(NSString *)pass;
- (NSData *)AESDecryptWithPassphrase:(NSString *)pass;
@end

The code is at <http://code.google.com/p/iphonebits/>

Also, in the comments of the post at <http://iphonedevelopment.blogspot.com/2009/02/strong-encryption-for-cocoa-cocoa-touch.html> Alan Quatermain posted an NSMutableData category which uses the Apple supplied CommonCrypto routines, thus sidestepping the need for encryption export stuff.

Enjoy,
   Peter.
