in reply to Anyone has simple encryption mechanism?

The simples thing you can do is XOR your data, block for block, but it's REALLY REALLY WEAK. You are better off using RC5, RSA,..

If it's not particularly important data, that's cool, but be careful never to use the rational, "No one will figure it out." Someone will always be curious enough to see if they can do it, or just are melicious enough to do it for kicks.


Play that funky music white boy..

    The data is not sensitive, I can do away with any encryption. I just wanted to have something like a plastice cover on a notebook. Thanks for the simple suggestion.
