The VBCorLib framework brings many of the powerful .NET classes to VB6.

VBCorLib

• Provides several encryption algorithms: Rijndael, RSA, TripleDES, DES.
• Provides many hashing algorithms: SHA1, SHA256, SHA384, SHA516, RIPMED160, MD5.
• Sign and verify data using HMAC.
• Provides easy access to many encodings for text and file handling: UTF8, UTF7, UTF16, and Windows supported encodings.
• Easy String, Array and Date manipulation with a variety of functions.
• Manipulate files with a variety of file handling classes.
• Handles files larger than 2 gigs.
• Provides a BigInteger to perform large calculations.
