Any encryption and data compression routines ???

[iflash]

Hi,

What are some of the free-distributed data compression and encryption routines (source algorithms) ??? I know some are not open-source but there are a few exceptions. Pls let me know..

many thanx~!~

Search on planet source code for "huffman encoding".
I was able to get a .bas module for it when I searched.
Its a great compression routine.

Regarding encryption, if you were to compress some text, then run a cypher over it (ie. just some simple text swapping etc.) then it should be clear as muck to most people.

Hey do u actually fully understand the whole routine ??? Well i found them a bit hard...

[iflash]

And i searched the net using many different combinations of keywords but still found nearly none about Data compression and encrypt THAT COMES WITH THE ALGORITHM SOURCE CODE. Is that because licensing reasons ??? And how and where should i go look if i really wanna get a hold of the source code for those algorithms ???


thanx`

Huffman Encoding is quite easy actually when you get used to it. I can do it with paper & pen as a matter of fact.

any free source code for me ?
i mean the actual algorithm

Like I said look on planetsourcecode.
Make sure you're searching under the Visual Basic part.
