If anyone wants to take a look I have now added encrypting of spaces in the algorithm and it still changes the letters nicely because I added my own word-wrap to the textbox, so that when the spaces are turned into other characters the browsers don't move the text up and down lines. Also the key can be 50 characters in length now.

Alright, perhaps someone can settle this debate for me. A friend of mine is convinced that the Cool Encrypter at [url]http://www.seabreezecomputers.com/encrypter/[/url] is uncrackable. I'm pretty sure that because the encryption process is known (view page source), and you can see the program repeating the key as it goes, that someone who knows what they're doing (i.e. not me :P ) can piece it together pretty quickly.
So here are two seperate strings I am sure can be decrypted; but he's pretty sure that even if the encryption process is known, you really can't crack the Cool Encrypter. Can someone settle this one way or the other?

He's pretty sure he used a secure key for each, but his idea of a "secure" password is a word he can rememberuch:
Is anyone interested in helping me figure out the keys on this to prove him wrong?
Most encryption algorithms are known -- it doesn't mean they are crackable.Originally Posted by waldowin
Hey, Waldowin, thanks for bringing this up. I too am wondering if someone can break the encryption. However, I wrote the code and I don't think it is possible to decrypt anything without knowing the key. Especially since I made it to encrypt spaces now. The one that didn't encrypt spaces might be possible to crack but only if someone used a small key.
