Question

Platform: Server – ASP.NET 3.5 / C#; client side – javascript/jQuery

This is what I want to do

1. Scramble a string in ASP.NET WebMethod (called through a jQuery Ajax call) before sending to the client
2. Unscramble it in javascript and display

I’m not looking at any sort of heavy duty encryption AES SHA whatever. I’m only interested in simple obfuscation – so if a user wants to persevere and decrypt the strings (which I will display anyway in a sequence, it’s just that I don’t want them to see all of them in the mark-up) then they can, it doesn’t matter.

Are there any simple schemes to do this?

for clarity:

say I want to send a pre-filled array to the client browser with [“a'”b”,”c”]

when someone opens the source on the browser, he/she should see, say. [“m”,”n”,”o”]

but when I display, I would recompute it to “a” and show it. That’s all.

What ever the intention may be…
Why not just implement the simplest “encryption”-algorithm out there

ROT13
