    Exclamation Need to encrypt some .txt files...

    For a databse type program im making. I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR the words XOR. I was hoping somebady knewa simple yet secure algorithm for me to research to encrypt thses files. I am already using a XOR/One-time pad for the login to the program. Please any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Please if you provide a link to the tutorial please make sure the tut is comprehensive. I get reccommendations to tuts all the time that do a half assed job of explaining things. Thanks so much!

    Why dont you try XOR?

    Anyway, codeguru has a lot of pages on encyrption and compression algorithms.

    Huh?
    I thought login was supposed to be a repeatable process, not suited to a one time pad.

    > I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR the words XOR
    And I don't like people yelling at me because they're too incapable of STFW for themselves.
    Besides, how else are you going to combine the clear text with the cypher - modulo addition?
    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.
