The purpose of the encryption I need is to hide information to the user of the applet, i.e. the applet produces secret information. When thinking about it the most security I can get is limited by the "encryption" of the applet. If the code of the applet is revealed then so is the encryption key. Therefore, I think a simple, symmetric algorthim would be sufficient. I'll see whether I can implement the tiny encryption algorithm (TEA) next week. Things are different when you want to retrive information encrypted by other sources than the applet, e.g. the user. Then PK-algorithms seems to be more adequate. Any suggestions which public-key algorithms are easy to implement and fairly safe?
