Hi I''m looking for a way to do one-way encryptoin on my server. But also to be able to decrypt data on an external machine. For security reasons I would never decrypt on the main server or have the decryption key or method on there. Is this type of thing possible? I''d rather a high level of encryption (in terms of not being crackable)... but also concerned about the amount of processing power..... since it would be nice to use this for common tasks like hashing passwords, etc. Any advice for the clueless? thanks Luzzy --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Well I just found this: http://blog.leetsoft.com/2006/03/14/simple-encryption I''m worried about speed Would using this for password encyption be overkill and weigh down my server? Everytime someone attempts to log into the system this would be called! cheers --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Encrypting a few bytes is unlikely to be the bottleneck on a machine where the entire data flow could be encrypted (if you''re using ssl).
