Powerhouse ENCRYPT

[Bob Deskin]

It does its own thing, so to speak. PowerHouse encryption was developed in 
the 1970s. It is not a heavy weight encryption scheme and was intended for 
visual encryption when doing ad hoc QUIZ reports rather than serious data 
hiding. If the data is truly sensitive or must comply with standards, I 
suggest another approach.

Hi All,

Does anyone know if the Powerhouse ENCRYPT function uses one of the
documented symmetric key algorithms (like AES, TDES, RC4 etc.) or is
it just doing its own thing?

I have some work coming down the line looking at storing sensitive
information in encrypted form (Image database) to comply to Payment
Card Industry Standards  and want to get a heads up on the types of
questions which might come up.

All the best

Adrian
