Encryption Methods: Compatibility with both PHP and VBA
Hi experts,
I'm creating a routine that needs some encryption to store license information. I'm currently using a Base64 encryption method which is available in both PHP and VBA (with an added class). I'm currently looking into other encryption methods though - as I think that Base64 might be a little too easy to 'crack'. I was thinking to maybe add a MD5 encryption with a salt, but I have no idea if there's any VBA classes for MD5.
If anyone have any experience on the subject or could point me in the right direction, that would be great.
Regards,
eX.

@Blaz:
Yes, I know - I only need a way of hiding some strings from our regular users. No real 'encryption' needed, just 'cloaking'. Do you know if DES or AES is built-in into PHP and if there are any classes available for VBA for them?
@dsmile:
Looks interesting, but will have to come back to it if we decide to go for MD5.
@benschwartz:
I see. I'll look into it.
