Advantages
-
There is not one simple method of cracking a string encrypted using pasCrypt. Since the
password (or
key) can be any length and for each letter added to the password the strength of the password increases exponentionally. Consider the following:
Password length Possibilities Strength 1 255 Very very very weak 2 65025 Very very weak 3 16581375 Very weak 4 4228250625 Weak 5 1078203909375 OK 6 274941996890625 Fairly strong 7 70110209207109375 Strong 8 17878103347812890625 Very strong 9 4558916353692287109375 Very very strong 10 1162523670191533212890625 Very very very strong 11 296443535898840969287109375 Super strong 12 75593101654204447168212890625 Extremely strong 13 19276240921822134027894287109375 Ultra-strong - The password and input string can go on for as far as the memory of the device or computer used.
