Hi there,
I am looking for a (free) component or script to do some basic encryption
for passwords before they are stored in a database. It doesn't have to be
very fancy, because no real security depends on it. All I want is to make
it a bit more difficult for someone who has access to the database to
directly view the passwords.
I downloaded C2GXOR from www.componentstogo.com. It seems that this
performs the basic encryption rather well.
Does anybody have any experience with this component? Are there any other
free components available to do the job?
Or can all this be done in a rather simple script / own component??
Suggestions are welcome.

Looks like this is indeed what I was looking for. Thanks for the tip.
I'll invest some time in it, and let you know if it worked out for me.
