I made a program that does encryption. How it works is it takes the letter to be encrypted and adds its to ASCII value to the ASCII value of the one of the letters of the password. It repeats the process on every letter to be encrypted.

For example:

To encrypt "happy"
With password: "day"


Output =
(ASCII of h + ASCII of d) +
(ASCII of a + ASCII of a) +
(ASCII of p + ASCII of y) +
(ASCII of p + ASCII of d) +
(ASCII of y + ASCII of a)
it then converts the values in ()'s to a new character.


I want to know 4 things:

is vb going to do this very slowly?

is this powerful enough for standard "home use"? - e.g. encrypting a saved AIM conversation

how powerful would you consider this?

is this really encryption or more a cypher ora mix or what?



Thanks!!
