Michele:
I had same problem with Steven Carey as he just wrote. I have been putting alot of inforamtion spening a few hours. Then cannot access to the program saying the Master password is incorrect. I have seen alot of these complains from app reviews. I think you should try to answer this questions since many people have wasted their time.

Michele:
Cards has a problem with the … Master password” not working to open the program. the iTunes web app blog for this software is full of complaints about this issue. I’ve tried the Cards app twice now. Same results, in that, I cNt open the program after I’ve put a lot of information into the Cards program.

Can you give me any guidence? Also, just a sime idea, if you read the iTunes web app reviews of the software and hear everyone complain g about this issue, why not pull the app until you fix it? The bug not allowing you to access your stored data creates a huge headache for the end user & you’re getting bad reviews. I encourage you, especially since your name is out there as the creator, to PULL the app or fix it. That’d be the decent thing to do since the complaints from many frustrated users sound harsh.

If you can help my situation with this software, I’d be grateful! Steve

Hi Michele,
Very nice app, just one gripe: The IBAN format requires that the letters are in Upper Cae, but the app does not allow for it. They can only be populated in lower case. It would alo be nice if the card numbers could be spaced (XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX) for redability.
Thanks for listening.
Ciao,
Pasquale

Hi, thank you for your nice work 🙂 could you implement a function for changing the order of every card ? Regards, Murasaki

Thanks a lot. I will check those functions.

rijndael.c is where the encryption is done. The function rijndael_chunk_encrypt and rijndael_chunk_decrypt are the ones used for encryption of arbitrarily sized chunks. Those functions take a buffer of bytes as input and output another buffer or bytes. In my case the buffer of bytes is just saved to disk and restored from disk, in your cause you could store each chunk in a binary column. Take also a look at CardController.m as it may help you.

Hi Michele,

I was going through your code for the Cards.app and trying to understand how the encryption was implemented. I was trying to see if the same logic could be implemented to encrypt and decrypt a single field value being written to and fetch from a sqlite table. I setup break points to understand how it was flowing but got lost. I think your code decrypts and encrypts user data into a single flat file.

Could you please be kind enough to point out what part of your code should I look into to get some help. I could not figure out which functions were called to pass the value to be encrypted and then viceversa to decrypt the encrypted value fetched from the database.

Regards,
Nero
