Seperating encoding from decoding

2 New Member
Hi,
I'm looking for a system which detaches the decoding process from the encoding process. That is, I would like a system for encoding data, but even if both the encoded data and the encoding process is known I would like it to be possible to decode the data with a seperate algorithm.

I realise I didn't explain that very well so I'll say what I want to use it for. On a website I want to store details and for them to be encoded, since this means both encoded data and the encoding system are at risk of discovery by hacking this means it's not very safe. I would like it so that even with both of those, it is either impossible or very hard to crack the data, but for ourselves to have a standalone system to decode it with.

Is this even possible, or is it inherently impossible by way that the encoding process is always directly linked to the decoding process?

do you mean something like public key encryption (RSA)?

I believe that's what I'm after, thank you. I will look into it, do you know how hard it is to calculate a decryption key from the encryption key and encrypted data? How possible is it, and how would I go about making it more difficult?

depending on the key length, got to be difficult above 256 bit. there's quite a lot of info about cryptography in wikipedia

Hi all, I have written a Python huffman Encoding Module, for my own amusement. I thought it might be educational/entertaining for other people, so I've put it on my website and wrote about it a little. http://gumuz.looze.net/wordpress/index.php/archives/2004/11/25/huffman-encoding/ Your comments are highly appreciated! cheers,

Hi, I'm trying to use POST an image to a web page with WebRequest/WebResponse. Only problem is that I must be making an error somewhere in the encoding/decoding process. I've pasted below a bit of sample code that basically shows how I am encoding and then decoding the binary image. Many thanks if you can point out what I am doing wrong... thanks, Slade Smith Image bmp =context.GetImage();

I've run a few simple tests looking at how query string encoding/decoding gets handled in asp.net, and it seems like the situation is even messier than it was in asp... Can't say I think much of the "improvements", but maybe someone here can point me in the right direction... First, it looks like asp.net will automatically read and recognize query strings encoded in utf8 and 16-bit unicode, only the latter is some mutant, non-standard...

My task is to read html files from disk and save them onto SQL Server database field. I have created an nvarchar(max) field to hold them. The problem is that some characters, particularly html entities, and French/German special characters are lost and/or replaced by a question mark. This is really frustrating. I have tried using StreamReader with ALL the encodings available and none work correctly. Each encoding handles some characters...

Having settled the huffman encoding/decoding and channel modeling(thanks to the previous part on bitwise operation), the last part would be hamming encoding/decoding. Did some research as usual on hamming codes and how they work(well sort of) I got a general idea how to start constucting a (7,4) hamming code. Unfortunately I have no idea how to start on the decoding/error correcting part and some direction would be nice. --- for...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
