AES decryption on a different device

Hi,

Can a file encrypted with ES3 (AES encryption) be decrypted on another device with the same password?

I am creating a game where the user can build their own level. The level can then be shared with other users. To accomplish this I planned to save the object to an encrypted file via ES3 and then save the file contents to a DB or external location. Then later, when other users wanted to play the level it would be retrieved and instantiated on their device. Just wondering if the AES decryption required anything other than the encryption password (ie. the original user's public key, etc.).

Thanks in advance,
Moshe

Hi Moshe,

You only need the password to decrypt, so it will work between different devices.

All the best,
