Can anyone suggest a good crypto package?

Wow, I have no idea how that works, but I think it will do nicely. The
main goal is simply to ensure that data coming in (from a website), is
valid (ie. posted by me). The site is supposedly secure, and the code
only accepts data of the type I expect, so the only security risk was
someone posting bad data. This simple method should stop anyone from
bothering to do even that.

Kudos for writing the code in a way that I can see how it is used,
even without documentation this is small enough to dissect.

Thank you, I think we have a winner. (BTW, I have no idea how this
whole encrypting gives many strings, decrypting all gives the correct
one works, but it sure seems to work just fine, more fully featured
than I even felt I needed.)
