Arguments

NameComments
plaintextThe string to encrypt.

The lr.encrypt_ex function is used to encrypt messages. Encryption is based on the AES-256-GCM algorithm and is compliant with FIPS requirements. The encrypted string can be decrypted by lr.decrypt_ex.

The AES key must be set before this function can be used. For details, see Add an AES key in the Help Center.
