Hi y'all,

Are there any libraries available for the 3k, which will
allow us to "encrypt/decrypt" a single field in an Image
database?

I will soon have to store sensitive data on my production
3k and prefer not to have a particular character string
understandable via third party packages such as Quiz or Query.
At the same time, the data will need to be available
programmatically via 3rd generation languages calling
external routines in a protected library.

I think that some sort of reasonably sophisticated jumbling
would be sufficient rather than having to go with full-blown
encryption.  My thinking leans more towards keeping honest
people honest.

Any ideas or suggestions as to a technique or algorithm?

TIA,
Chip Dorman
