Is life too short to learn PGP? Want just enough encryption to pass unbreakable mash notes in class that look like gibberish to anyone except you and your significant other? Is that what you're after, bunky?

Then click on http://www.cipher-encryption.com/text-encryption.html

To encrypt a message, type in any passcode you want. Then type in your message and click on Encrypt. Then send the passcode and copy/paste the encrypted garbage you see in an email to somebody else.

To decrypt the message, copy/paste the encrypted text into the Message: block (make sure there are NO extra spaces), enter the passcode, then click on Decrypt. Its that simple.

With, of course, the knowledge that whatever text you pasted in may have been stored at that site to be reviewed by the site owners. Which kind of eliminates the value.

For "strong" NSA-style encryption and/or hobby use, you are correct. For playing around, you are not.

This is playing around.

With the clear text passed over an open wire? This dosn't qualify as encryption. For hobby use, why not just use crypt(1)?
