Simple way to encode a string according to a password?
- by RexE
Does Python have a built-in, simple way of encoding/decoding strings using a password?
Something like this:
>>> encode('John Doe', password = 'mypass')
'sjkl28cn2sx0'
>>> decode('sjkl28cn2sx0', password = 'mypass')
'John Doe'
I would like to use these encrypted strings as URL parameters. My goal is obfuscation, not strong security. I realize I could use a database table to store keys and values, but am trying to be minimalist.
