One of the strongest and simplest cyphers you can use is RC4 or "ARC-4". It
can be implemented in just a few dozen of lines in any programming language
or you just find a component to do it.

See http://ciphersaber.gurus.com/ for a really interesting application of
it.
Kinda overkill for what your doing (you probably just want a simple
component to one-way hash a password), but its kinda fun to implement.

Subject: [DUG]: String Encryption routine
Firstly, thanks to those who helped me find a Help authoring tool.
I've searched the Net but not found some simple Delphi source to encrypt a
string (based on a given key value). I've only found large component sets
which are an overkill.
I don't need strong encrytion but just something to deter most people from
working it out.
Anyone have any suggestions. Maybe I could create something myself but I've
not had any experience in this area.
Cheers,
Ross.
