You can either create a function with the NSIS script language or, if you need advanced encryption, create a plug-in.

What about MD5?

That's indeed useful for a password. Not for other types of storage, because it's not an encryption but a hash.

Quick plugin based which provides base64 compression.

That sentence made no sense! hehe. What I meant to say was...
"Quick plugin which provides base64 compression."
sorry, hehe

For passwords using a hash is safer.

dselkirk, can you create an archive page?
