Examples

# Location Where to Save Encryption Key on Local Computer
  #(where only you should have access to it)
#encryptionKeyLocation <- file.path(getwd(), "/encryptionKey.RData",
#  fsep = "") #Can change to a different path, e.g.: "C:/Users/[USERNAME]/"

# Generate a Temporary File Path for Encryption Key
encryptionKeyLocation <- tempfile(fileext = ".RData")

# Generate Encryption Key
key <- as.raw(sample(1:16, 16))

# Save Encryption Key
save(key, file = encryptionKeyLocation)

# Specify Credentials
credentials <- "Insert My Credentials Here"

# Generate a Temporary File Path for Encrypted Credentials
encryptedCredentialsLocation <- tempfile(fileext = ".txt")

# Save Encrypted Credentials
#write.aes(
#  df = credentials,
#  filename = file.path(getwd(), "/encrypytedCredentials.txt", fsep = ""),
#  key = key) #Change the file location to save this on the lab drive

write.aes(
  df = credentials,
  filename = encryptedCredentialsLocation,
  key = key)
