ANSI Encryption Functions

Internationalization (I18n) Issue:

These functions bear mentioning because by nature they intentionally manipulate only 8-bit character data. It is common practice when converting an application into a wide character wchar_t UTF-16 or UTF-32 application to replace all char references with wchar_t.

These functions are scanned for only to remind users that these functions are special and their data should be left as char and not changed to wchar_t.

I18n Solution:

Leave data for these functions as char and do not change to wchar_t if migrating to a wide character application.
