Padding in structures in C

I don’t think there’s an advantage for any of this structures. There is one(!) constant in this equation. The order of the members of the struct is guaranteed to be as declared. So in case like the following, the second structure might have an advantage, since it probably has a smaller size, but not in … Read more

Why does base64 encoding require padding if the input length is not divisible by 3?

Your conclusion that padding is unnecessary is right. It’s always possible to determine the length of the input unambiguously from the length of the encoded sequence. However, padding is useful in situations where base64 encoded strings are concatenated in such a way that the lengths of the individual sequences are lost, as might happen, for … Read more

Encrypt & Decrypt using PyCrypto AES 256

Here is my implementation and works for me with some fixes and enhances the alignment of the key and secret phrase with 32 bytes and iv to 16 bytes: import base64 import hashlib from Crypto import Random from Crypto.Cipher import AES class AESCipher(object): def __init__(self, key): self.bs = AES.block_size self.key = hashlib.sha256(key.encode()).digest() def encrypt(self, raw): … Read more

Adding space/padding to a UILabel

I have tried with it on Swift 4.2, hopefully it work for you! @IBDesignable class PaddingLabel: UILabel { @IBInspectable var topInset: CGFloat = 5.0 @IBInspectable var bottomInset: CGFloat = 5.0 @IBInspectable var leftInset: CGFloat = 7.0 @IBInspectable var rightInset: CGFloat = 7.0 override func drawText(in rect: CGRect) { let insets = UIEdgeInsets(top: topInset, left: leftInset, … Read more
