Encrypt a String

Keywords:  encryption encrypt a string

Try the following zip file:
TestEncryption.wbt - shows you how it works
CreateKey.wbt - creates a new key
Decrypt.wbt - include this in a script that requires decryption of an encrypted string
Encrypt.wbt - inclue this in a script that requires encryption of a decrypted string.
EncryptionKey.wbt - created by CreateKey.wbt - must be included in Decrypt.wbt and Encrypt.wbt
Encrypt.Wbt requires one variable - ClearText - it returns one variable - EncryptedText

Decrypt.wbt requires one variable - EncryptedText - it returns one variable - ClearText.

Advantage of this system - encrypted text is always an uppercase letter - allowing you to write the encrypted text to a file - it does not use non-printable ascii characters from the encrypted text.

Here's a slightly improved version. By changing the astring variable in the createkey script you can make the code harder or easier to crack.
