I was reading the wikki trying to find some simple means for encryption / decryption of messages. I stumbled across llMD5String. It looks neat and fairly simple, only one problem though. llMD5String encrypts the message, but what do I use on the far end to decrypt? Am I overlooking something in the wikki? I can't believe the venom was sent out without the antidote.

add them up and we have

2The 2difference 2between 2me 2and 2you = 0

2(The difference between me and you) = 0

The difference between me and you = 0/2

The difference between me and you = 0

I never thought we were so similar :eek:

Hi Marker,

MD5 only produces a 128 bit hash key, it doesn't encrypt data.

Thanks all. It seems not only had I a terrible misunderstanding, but I also was inches away from the correct answers.

Thanks again.
