For the problem described pycrypto is the best solution. Blowfish is
simple and secure. The method you want to use is called "security by
obscurity". But chances are very high that the "homebrewed" scheme you
will invent will not stand any serious crytoatack.
First of all: both sides (sender and
>>MD5 and SHA are by their very nature one way encryption. You cannot
decrypt them.
Indeed, the point of these algorithms is to sign data (like a
fingerprint).
In order to encrypt you may go for Symmetrical algos (AES, 3DES with
those, the key must be known on both sides of the pipe) or Asym

Or, rather, he wouldn't be changing anything at all in the program itself.
The approach would be "Ok
Hi,
Can you use ssh tunneling? You will not be changing anything except add
an extra ssh layer to tunnel your data through. There is how-to at
http://www.ccs.neu.edu/groups/systems/howto/howto-sshtunnel.html
(or you can google for tunneling)
Please note you can not use MD5 as it is not reversibl
Did you look at pycrypto ?

MD5 and SHA are by their very nature one way encryption. You cannot
decrypt them.
A quick google for other encrytion methods found this:

What you will need to do is find an encryption methos that uses a key
which you use to encrypt and decrypt the data

No, Py
