    Question abt encryption algorithm

    hellooooo everyone here..

    i hv sum qns.. i m doin prj recently.. so hence doin encryption on patient text files.. i m new to encryption.. so i m using xor encryption. i noe it is basic .. but it is easy to be decrypted by hackers.. right? so, i use xor encryption wif random xor-value.
    is it ok?

    okie.. here math algorithm..::::

    srand(10); on top of the program -- // Init the random number generator with "10"...
    i dun get it.. pls enlighten mi..

    c=c ^ (rand()/12000 + 1);

    u noe y 12000+ 1 is used? y nt 12000 ? any more to tell mi regardin tt.. feel free to tell mi.. i m willing to learn more..

    that's all.. thanks. hope to hear frm u asap..

    Huh?
    It seems to me your writing style is sufficiently encrypted to make it almost meaningless to anyone else without any need for software.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    How about you decrypt what you want to ask before asking it?

    Either your keyboard has serious issues, or you are an idiot. Lack of proper grammar and spelling is a good measure of who gets awarded a residency in the killfile, so if you want help, at least act like you have some measure of intelligence.
    My best code is written with the delete key.

    Re: abt encryption algorithm

    See all the above posts.

    I actually translated the following into human and can respond:

    the '10' is a seed to the random number generator that makes the rand() function actually return random values. Every number that is passed will return a different list of numbers. The same number returns the same list. Therefore you are able to test your code easily knowing what random list is going to be returned.

    To actually randomize the list, add the time.h header and change the statement to:
    Code:
    srand(time());

    Programming, actually.
    Naturally I didn't feel inspired enough to read all the links for you, since I already slaved away for long hours under a blistering sun pressing the search button after typing four whole words! - Quzah
