How about using a MD5 hash, if you can get away with one-way encryption?

What's MD5 hash? Is there C# available for that?

Need a poor man's encryption<br />
<br />
I have used AES (or is it EAS?) in my C# WinForms program. BUt for this aplication I was thinkg about something smaller and made up of small number of lines of code. It's not something that needs to be very secure. But I woud like it to be not usable as is.<br />
<br />
Are there any simple algorithms that scramble and rename characters to otherwise make a mess out of a string?<br />
<br />
This is for C#.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

Operating system security (OS security) is the process of ensuring OS integrity, confidentiality and availability. OS security refers to specified steps or measures used to protect the OS from threats, viruses, worms, malware or remote hacker intrusions. OS security encompasses all preventive-control techniques, which safeguard any computer assets capable of being stolen, edited or deleted if OS security is compromised, including authentication, passwords and threats to systems and programs.

OS Security

Encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. In an encryption scheme, the intended communication information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients, but not to unauthorized interceptors.
