Use: Run this program Input message and xor value Write encrypted string and xor value on a sheet If you declare the encrypted string as a var(string)/const you can decrypt it on-the-fly using XorIT with the same xor value In this way hackers (the lamest ones) can't see/modify your string} {Author: Salvatore Meschini - E-Mail: smeschini@ermes.it - WWW: http://www.ermes.it/pws/mesk .
