Hello!
I've often seen programs saying that the encrypt with 128 bits, meaning that they are very safe.
My question is, how do you calculate how many bits your algoritmh is ?
I'm using Randomize(Seed) (where seed is the key, a number choosen by the user)
This gives a series of pseudo-random numbers, which I add to the ASCII-value of each character.
Tee user can input seeds from 1 to 1 000 000 000 000,
but due to a bug in Randomize, it gives only about 22 millions different seeds.
How many bits is this?
Or do you measure the strength of encryption in another way?
Hope somebody can help me, so I can compare my program to the "real" ones on the market.
