Can some1 explain how password encryption works?
There are lots of ways to encrypt something with a password. Probably the simplest and most secure form of encryption is called a “one time pad.” A simple way of performing a basic OTP would work like this: Let’s say you want to encrypt the following message: The meeting is at noon. Let’s say the “pad” you’re going to use is “password”. You assign each letter a number corresponding with the letter’s position in the alphabet (such as, space=0, A=1, B=2, C=3, and so on). So the values of “The meeting is at noon” would be “20 8 5 0 12 5 5 20 9 14 7 0 9 19 0 1 20 0 14 15 15 14”. Now, to encrypt the phrase, you take the values of your pad (“16 1 19 19 23 15 18 4”) and you line them up with your message, so that the first letter of your message (T=20) is lined up with the first letter of your pad (P=16). You then add these two numbers together (36), and if it’s more than 26 (which it is), you subtract 27 (all the letters and a space) from the number and you’re left with your value (19 in thi
