I did some super lightweight encryption. I used rot-X where X was over the printed charset. So I had punctuation and whatnot in mine.

A slightly taller fence, but it wasn't hard to do and it passes for small/light encryption. I'd have to double check but I think I was rotating over 96 characters instead of 13.

Oh, and one more thing. Using 'rot' encryption means that your encrypt and decrypt are the same routine. Which is nice. But it's pretty shoddy encryption.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
