Yes, I absolutely endorse this - I use the Einhugur plug-ins. No point
in re-inventing the wheel - with tools of this calibre there is no
reason to write your own unless it is for the fun of it.

Hi Theodore!
I have seen some *REALLY* interesting discussions on your question (a
fascinating topic) but the whole reason most of use RB is for RAD,
right?
With that in mind, why not have a look at the Einhuger eCrypit plugin:

I have no affiliation to the company except being a happy customer.
Cheers,
Jason.

I've looked at Blowfish, (via a REALbasic demo project), and I'm
thinking, there must be a simpler way. The sheer number of seemingly
random numbers in the blowfish seems way too much.
I like to do things in a way that I can understand why it is the best
way. if I can't understand why something is the best way, then I don't
like to do it that way.
It may sound like I'm being like a simpleton, or not taking faith in
other people, but in fact this approach works out very well.
For example, it led me to develop my own dictionary lookup structure,
which is far more powerful than the standard hashing structure,
because my structure has uses in a huge variety of applications (image
processing, genetics, etc etc), which hashing could not provide.
So yes, I do like to understand why is some code the best code. And I
know that blowfish is too complex. I just don't know the field well
enough to know a less complex version :)
Which is why I'm asking this question.
