Encryption ideas?

09-26-2003, 08:50 PM

Does anyone have an idea for an encyption method that I can layer on top of what I'm already doing? Here's what I do so far...

Convert variables to a long chain of binary
XORify a version of the player's name on top of that
Cut the binary into 6 bit sections, which are converted to characters

That was, each character doesn't coorespond with exactly one stat, making simple character replacement much less appealing. The ultimate goal of this is to make things too complicated for a person to just go through the .J and create their character.

weaaddar	as far as I know there is no xor function in war3. Some guy made a 1 way xor function encryptor (read: worthless), if you have made a 2 way xor function I will be much intrested to see how you did it.

Aiursrage2k	Here is an xor encryption method... http://www.seiken.co.uk/cot/cotforum...t=ST&f=7&t=54&

weaaddar	A xor function which uses your name as the key with a byte splitter can actually be a very good encryption.

Oinkerwinkle	I've already done all the stuff I listed without a problem. It's just a binary XOR type thing: Code: function XOR takes string bit1, string bit2 returns string if bit1==bit2 then return "0" else return "1" endif endfunction

sweet5	hey that looks like VB code! i reconzied it from my programming class : )

Oinkerwinkle	Yup, it's kind of a mix between Basic and C. With a bunch of extra functions for dealing with the actual map.
