Encrypt
Description
Encrypts a string. Encrypt uses a symmetric key-based algorithm in which the same
key is used to encrypt and decrypt a string. The security of the encrypted string
depends on maintaining the secrecy of the key. Encrypt uses an XOR-based
algorithm that uses a pseudo-random 32-bit key based on a seed passed by the user
as a parameter to the function. The resultant data is UUencoded and may be as
much as three times the original size.
