I'm attempting to use the XmlBasics class in the XML namespace of SF. I need to encrypt the file, but am having a bit of trouble figuring out how to do that.



I do not understand how the validation key works, and if it is related to encryption. I also do not understand how the key/vector is set for the encryption of XML files. They seem to be hard coded. I've reviewed the training material from the class and am still confused.



Also, I note that you are using obsolete encryption methods within this class...any reason for that?



Thanks!
