Pooh,
You may be able to obfuscate your information from most people but anyone with some
time and a decent system will
most likely have a easy go with your algorithm. What you are doing sounds like very
simple encryption scheme and
is rife for frequency analysis which would not be that hard since you gave me both
plain text and cypher text.
Optimally a analyst would want multiple copies of plain text and cypher text but I
think a good crypto person could
get reasonable close via what you have here.
Also the most likely way some one get your crypto system is to get access to your
algorithm which I am sure based
on what you say would allow them to decrypt anything you create which makes for a very
weak crypto scheme. Your
best bet it is to use something like BlowFish or AES, DES, TIPLEDES, etc which are
well understood systems and are
ethier very hard to crack or have not been publicly cracked yet.
Cheers,
Robi
