[REBOL] Re: Encryption

From: mattsmac:hot:mail at: 9-Sep-2003 8:36

Greg, This is the best and easiest solution anyone has given me. It's versatile enough to support all of the various applications in my program. It seems to be working perfectly. Thanks everyone for your help. Matt Re: Encryption Anton Rolls (antonr) 9-Sep-2003/13:32:51+10:00 #30965 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can push your binary through a line port as text. Encrypt your text, which gives you a binary, then use enbase, which gives a string (and losing no information). On the other end use debase to get the binary back, then decrypt. Anton.
