While I can't answer this directly (I'm not all that familiar with encryption and techniques), there is a rather nice document written by one of our resellers that's available to anyone that wants it... It's written with Delphi in mind, but this should give you a shot.
Apologies for the format, it's a .doc file (word), I'm trying to PDF-ize it. You can grab it here: http://opus.tucows.com/decipher.doc Thank you Christine Warner :) BTW - our suggestion is that you use Blowfish, it's faster, stronger encryption.
