PsaltyDS Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 First things first. Read up on the difference between encryption and hashing. MD5 is a hash algorithm (think of checksum rather than encoding), not and encryption algorithm. Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...

KaFu Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Take a look at the examples in the UDF help-file for _Crypt_EncryptFile() & _Crypt_DecryptFile(). $CALG_AES_256 is a good algorithm to use for encryption, but remember, this is only 'save' as long as you don't embed the password into the script itself.
