So basically you send an encrpyted version of waht you would send. When you receive a message you display a decrypted version of what's been sent. I never tried it before and my Moo knowledge is quite poor so before I start doing anything I would like to find out something about it. Can someone give me a some tips, what's better, what not. What extension should I use, what's the simplest way to use the extension and maybe a brief walkthrough. Plooscva n/a

You can also use binary object etc. and MD5. Thats the extensions / means you could go about doing it using those. I'll let someone else do the honours of a walkthrough http://www.SilverNova.co.uk

Plooscva Registered 25/10/2006 Points 149	24th February, 2007 at 03:35:46 - So it's best to use Blowfish for encrypting messages? Thanks, everyone especially Phizzy. Seems I won't have to modify the code extensively to add blowfish encryption. Any other tips? Ploo n/a

Having the same key for all messages hurts security. Random key generation would be good, but how do you suppose you get the key to the receiver? - Ok, you must admit that was the most creative cussing this site have ever seen - Make some more box arts damnit! http://create-games.com/forum_post.asp?id=285363
Plooscva Registered 25/10/2006 Points 149	24th February, 2007 at 09:41:35 - I'm just going to send an encrypted version of what I would send. Then decrypt it when gets to the other client. I will do everything using the same key. I might use different key for different subchannels/commands just to make it harder but noone would really be desperate to hack my small gift for the Polish Klik Community. Plooscva n/a

"Actually sir, we found a tiny unicorn in your exhaust. It was jumping around poking holes in your gas tank." "Oh thank you I did not know that. A tiny unicorn? Wow."

That value will choose which key is used for each message, based on a list of keys. Every so often, or even after each message, the value changes and thus the key used to encrypt/decrypt the message, will change too. http://www.facebook.com/truediamondgame

That's why my MMF programs with external files are so easy to exploit! -- "Del Duio has received 0 trophies. Click here to see them all."
