Simple Javascript encrypt, PHP decrypt with shared secret key

Question

This is not about security. It is also not to make it hard to break. I\'m looking for a simple algorithm to change a string (a url) in a way it does not resemble the origina

Answer 1

If it's not about security, and not about making it hard to break, then how about ROT-13?

String.prototype.rot13 = function(){
    return this.replace(/[a-zA-Z]/g, function(c){
        return String.fromCharCode((c <= "Z" ? 90 : 122) >= (c = c.charCodeAt(0) + 13) ? c : c - 26);
    });
};

...

var s = "My String";

var enc = s.rot13();  // encrypted value in enc

PHP has a native function, str_rot13: http://php.net/manual/en/function.str-rot13.php

$decrypted = str_rot13($_GET['whatever']);
