I really don't know much about MC's encryption either. The program I posted relies on a keyFile with the same list of random numbers being stored on each computer. Unless someone else has access to that file or is somehow reading the electronic emissions from your keyboard, the encryption is in the form of a one-time pad which is the most secure form of encryption possible. As long as the keyFile is used only once and then discarded or replaced, the code is unbreakable. <BR>
