Encryption/Blowfish Question

[LWFX]

Let's just say I have some info that is somewhat important that needs to be encrypted.
Would leaving Blowfish at the default settings and encrypting with a say 20byte confusing key be enough protection? or are there some other methods from the extension that might be better? Thanks!

Unless the info is VERY important that's more then enough.

Does anyone have a simple example of how to use Blowfish Encryption Object to encrypt a text file and then a way to decrypt it again later?

No worries about this now, i found the Encryption object and it was simple to figure out how to change the string right away.

If anyones interested its as simple as after setting a condition -

Encrypt$( "Encryption object", string$( "Info" ), Str$(123))

With the 'Info' being the text you need done and '123' the key which can be changed. Then just do the same with Decrypt when you want to get it back to normal.

You can add extra layers of encryption by Encrypting then decrypting with a different key then re encrypting with another different key.
You can't encrypt an already encrypted file or string. you'll break your data; so to overcome this you just decrypt with a different key. This is how Tripple DES encryption works.
