Hello everyone,

I'm planning to use the jasypt library to encrypt sensible data in my application. Before using jasypt, I used to create the table structure according to the real data, for example: if I wanted to store the first name of a person, i created a varchar(50) assuming that a maximum of 50 characters was defined in the requierements.

Now with jasypt, when I encrypt the first name data, the encrypted string can be longer than 50 characters. Is there a way to calculate the column size when the data is going to be encrypted? Does it depend on jasypt? or the encryption algorithm?

Thanks for you answers!
