Hello,
I’m getting involved in encryption and wrote a little program to demonstrate my first encryption algorithm. It’s quite simple, and I’m sure it has been done before, but I want to see if you can figure it out. I’m including the program that both encrypts and decrypts (two way).
http://www.ghostlantern.com/app/encdec.exe (196kb)See if you can figure it out.
Dave: I figured it out. When I changed the window title from my previous version (to take away any hints), I forgot to include UpdateWindow() to get the information from the text boxes. Therefore, DoDataExchange() was never called and my function wasn’t either.
Well, since you left IRC and I can’t be bothered PM’ing you:
isn’t it just XOR and reversing the order of the bytes?What would a person want to use encryption for? I am not sure if a file named crypto would be one that is for that…. could someone fill me in?
