I too am a member of the encryption club (it is a relatively simple thing to
code). There are a couple of things I would like to add, the first is the
power of matrix encryption. This makes the messed up file completely
indistinguishable from the original, as the bytes no longer correspond. The
second is rot (rotate) type encryption. The usefullness of this is that you
can encode a text file and it will still be text. This allows you to paste it
straight into an email (rather than using something like BinHex or Base64). Of
course you could BinHex a Matrix encrypted file, but I find that a bit cheesy.
I have not perfected the rot part of my alg. It works but would still be no
good for email (ASCII values > 128). I have got the necessary Matrix code if
anybody wants it. (Multiply, Calculate Inverse, Determinate).
