Anonymous Monk/redhotpenguin,
The perl crypt function wouldn't help you even if it were available since it is a 1-way hashing library and not an encryption/decryption utility. If you are only interested in protecting the data in transit, using an existing library like SSL is the lowest cost solution assuming it is available. I am not sure you understood what I was saying about using the algorithm as your shared secret. You could pick any data hiding you want that is more sophisticated than rot-13. If you don't provide people access to the algorithm than getting the secret isn't going to be very easy. If you don't believe me, I will design an algorithm and post a secret message to see how long it takes you to decipher it. Cheers - L~R
