Because I really need someone to ask for an encryption service. A handful of developers (e.g. me) need it, because asymmetric encryption can help loads for protecting sensitive information against hackers.
It shouldn't be hard to add, in fact there's already Lua frontends for C-family encryption libraries. |

why do you need encryption? you can just hide the info on the server and put a remotefunction that requires some secret code arguments and returns the value if you need it on the client

Scripters will most likely have better people for this situation.

The scripters don't have a solution, because Lua 5.1 is garbage for encryption.
Lua 5.3 can do it, but given that we've been stuck on an ancient version of Lua for so long, I don't think Roblox will update their Lua version for a problem only a few people have.
And I need encryption for something that operates across games, games that I don't own. |

what are you using this for? how are you gonna send encrypted data to games you don't own?

TeleportService. The encryption is mainly so that the origin of the data can't be spoofed.
Anyway, it's something that absolutely needs asymmetric encryption. It gets tiresome having people repeatedly try convince me that I don't need or don't want it, when there's absolutely no option other than letting hackers run rampant. |

Bump The ironic thing is, I totally could get access to the developer forum if what I needed the encryption for was working, and if I was on the developer forum I'd have an easier time getting encryption. |

there's plenty of scripts out there for lua or for roblox that can encrypt or decrypt data, but what information are you sending that's so important and secret that it needs to be completely fully secure from a hacker?

Symmetric encryption and decryption is literal child's play. It's just a multilayered cypher. Asymmetric is what's hard.
Anyway, what I need it for is a complicated thing that will only raise more questions, and I don't think you're on the developer forum. |
