Having a military background in communications and electronic warfare, the
simple rule to live by is this:
"If it is electronic, it CAN be intercepted and decrypted."

That said, you've stated that there IS a method to reverse engineer the
encryption process. That means another person with enough time/computing
power can figure it out even if they don't have the CF Code.
Bottom line, ask yourself if a hacker will take the time to try to decrypt
your information. They may have a desire to see it, but how motivated would
they be to view your info? If it's information that can be gathered through
other means/sites, then they are not likely to spend much time on it, which
means your encryption methods meet your needs.
Just thought I'd throw in my two cents on this topic.

Subject: Encryption Question PART 2
hey, i'm the Original Inquirer. heh, kinda like that title. ermm anyways,
like i said, the code turns 4665775886868576 into
"hkjsdhk987697834^*&^@@@Kj=-018^%13534kljdsa986(*@*&(@# dsjfkhk" junk.
someone said that someone could get the pattern, but i think it is
impossible, since part of the encryption uses ASC or Char to change
characters (only certain letters according to what the "ith" number is), and
they will never know at which point i used that transformation, or how many
times. MUWHAHAHA! or what else I did (i also used mathematical
calculations, string appends, and other string functions). I mean every
outcome is sooo different finding a pattern is impossible. And every
outcome comes doesn't have the same amount of character lengths. like, the
only possible way to figure it out is to look at the CF code itself, and
then to work it backwards (which took me a while to figure out too bahehehe)
Am i right/wrong in my assumption?
