Obscuring an NSString


  • Subject: Obscuring an NSString
  • From: Adam Gerson <email@hidden>

I am writing an NSString to a file and I would like to obscure it in a
two way reversible fashion. It doesn't have to be major hacker proof,
just not understandable by an average person. I need to be able to
read the value back in from the file and convert it back to "clear
text". In php I would just use base64 encode / decode. All the cocoa
examples I have found show converting in base64 between nsstring and
nsdata. Is there a smiple function I can pass an NSString through to
obscure it while keeping it as a string, then reverse it back to clear
text in a reliable way?

Thanks,
Adam
