Encrypt and decrypt a string
Hi, I want to encrypt and decrypt a string(database password) which will be used in my scripts.
encrypt the string while storing in a file and while using it in other scripts
it should decrypt.
i tried below method. As it can decrypt easily, it is not recommended.
Code:
encrypt=`perl -e 'print unpack "H*","yourpassword"'`
descrpt=`perl -e 'print pack "H*","encrypted password"'`

Could you please suggest any other methods for this.
My Unix environment details are SunOS 5.10 Generic_118833-36

Thanks in advance.
