Functions to encrypt and decrypt strings using the Rijndael symmetric key algorithm

  1. ## Start-Encryption
  2. ##################################################################################################
  3. ## Rijndael symmetric key encryption ... with no passes on the key. Very lazy.
  4. ## USAGE:
  5. ## $encrypted = Encrypt-String "Oisin Grehan is a genius" "P@ssw0rd"
  6. ## Decrypt-String $encrypted "P@ssw0rd"
  7. ##
  8. ## You can choose to return an array by passing -arrayOutput to Encrypt-String
  9. ## I chose to use Base64 encoded strings because they're easier to save ...
