Custom Text Obfuscation Algorithm #1336

Custom Text Obfuscation Algorithm (Just for fun > and learn process)

This code implements a custom algorithm for obfuscating text. It replaces individual characters (uppercase, lowercase letters, and numbers) with pre-defined strings, aiming to make the original text unreadable without the corresponding decoding logic.

Important Note:

This method offers basic obfuscation but shouldn't be considered secure encryption. A determined attacker could potentially analyze the code and reverse the logic to retrieve the original text. Functionality:

The code defines a PasswordConverter class containing the core functionality. The forCode function takes a string as input and iterates through it in reverse order. Based on the character type (uppercase, lowercase, or number), it assigns a corresponding obfuscated string from a predefined mapping. The obfuscated characters are accumulated and then reversed to maintain the original reading order. Limitations:

This approach has limited security and should not be used for sensitive information. Standard encryption libraries offer robust and secure methods for protecting confidential data. Further Considerations:

The current implementation appears incomplete as the main class is empty. Variable naming conventions could be improved for better readability. For Secure Encryption:

Consider using well-established encryption libraries available in most programming languages. These libraries provide strong encryption algorithms that are demonstrably secure.
