C++ to put a message string through an algorithm / cryptography??
all,
I'm looking for a resource (possibly CPP) for which I could do the following on a windows and linux machine:
1) type a string message into a GUI control (or some other input that can be accessed by the resource).
2) run a resource script that puts the message through a hash function (or a custom hash function) and outputs the hash string.
3) have a reverse function available in order to decrypt the message in an input fashion just like step #1.
can someone tell me what open-source resource might be the best for this? Right now I am imagining typing a message into a text file, saving the file to a hard drive location, running a script on it replacing the old file with a new file that just has a hash string in it, then using that hash string for the encoded message.
does this sound feasible to anyone? can anyone suggest a better way to do this?
thanks.

thanks. I'll get back to you on this.

kaud,
it looks like that implementation uses the shell. the shell is not an output medium where a message can be copied from it to an operating system temporary medium like a clipboard. is it? I'm trying to get something here where I don't have to learn much code to manipulate it, and CPP is not something I'm even a a novice in. Any assistance on that real quick?

That open-source implementation uses standard c++. It's class based and easy to use from a c++ program on either windows or linux.
