It sounds like you've got the right idea, but you might want to read up a little more on cryptography. AES and DES are not asymetric algorithms. I suggest reading Applied Cryptography by Bruce Schneier. Or maybe Practical Cryptography by the same author, but I haven't looked at that one yet.

    Ooops.... typo alert... I meant RSA (I've been looking at Crypt::RSA) and it's probably time to go home....

    While I don't claim to be anywhere near an expert I do know the difference.

    Honestly!1
