Gday guys, I'm looking for an old library written by Derek called encode.e It's no longer in the archive. I used it many years ago and cant find it in my backups.
Is it this one ?
Something i did not understand then, or now: assuming this might be used for scrambling an email access, the recipient would need the same code the sender used, and the clear password beforehand, to generate the encrypted password to compare to what was sent by the sender. Or, the encrypted password would need to be sent in the clear as the password to the host, the same way the unencrypted password could have been sent. Either way, if all the traffic that the sender has ever sent has been logged, the password, encrypted or not, was sent, and is therefor known. And possibly the configured encode.e that made the encrypted password.
Or am i missing something?
