Re: RPG Encryption Algorithm?? -- RPG400-L

I am looking at the code example on March 1999 issue of News/400 that was recommended from the url: http://archive.midrange.com/rpg400-l/199906/msg00064.html

It appears that this is doing what I need to do, I want to secure usernames and passwords for an internal system. I know very little about encryption, as encryption goes will the code from the News/400 example do what I want it do do? Is it a secure encryption method? Is the _CIPHER procedure the example uses relatively secure?

Excuse my ignorance,
Robert

Does anypody know of a way I can "encrypt" plain alpha text in a RPG program and then store it in a DB2 file?

I'm not at all sure of the application, but a search of the archives turned
up these:
