CRYPT (Encryption / Decryption Filter)
Command
--------------------------------------------------
Purpose: This program will encode the text, read
from the standard input, and write it to
the standard output device.
Format: CRYPT key
Type: Internal External
***
Remarks: To decode an encrypted message, pass the
message through this filter again with
the same key as was used for encryption.
Example: A>CRYPT yohoho <crypt.doc >crypt.cod
Will produce a file containing the text
of this file, encoded so that it is illegible.
A>CRYPT yohoho <crypt.cod
Will then reproduce the text of this document,
and display it on the screen.
Note: 1. The encryption method here is based on
the XOR function, and while secure enough
to keep someone from freely reading
encoded files, it will probably not stop
a determined effort to decode the files.
2. Care should be taken to remember the key
since there is no way of reconstructing it
short of decrypting the file.
