How to convert encrypted files into binary?

[Vilasini]

i need to change it into binary and store in Microsoft Access database...do anyone know its coding or any software???

[RuralGuy]

Someone might be able to help but your question is puzzling. Everything stored on a computer *is* binary so your conversion would be from binary to binary. See the confusion?

[Vilasini]

but that is the way that i should do...
1)encrypt any file
2)convert that file into binary
3)and store it in database
then what should i do????
any clue please????

[RuralGuy]

Let's see if I understand your question.
1) You want to be able to encript any file.
2) ??? I don't know what this means.
3) Whatever #2 does you then want to store inside a database.

ok its actually like this...
i need to do a project called "secure file storage using blob"...so my lecturer say the way to do is:
1)encrypt any file using RC4
2)then convert that encrypted file into binary
3)and last store binary data in database
so the first one i know ready how to do...now the problem is i don't know how to do the second problem....

[RuralGuy]

Well I don't know how to do the second item either. I don't even know what that second item means since *all* files are BINARY.

[Vilasini]

ooh ok then..anyway thanx ya...

Good luck on this one. Maybe someone with better skills than me will drop by with a suggestion.
