I need to be able to encrypt/code an arbitrary string of up to about 50 
alphanumeric characters into a string that also contains only alphanumeric 
characters.  All of the encryption algorithms I have looked result in 
strings with non-ASCII characters in them (when the resulting bytes are 
turned into a string) which is not suitable.

Is there a simple way to do this?  It must be able to successfully be 
decrypted as well but doesn't need to be very sophisticated or extremely 
secure.

And loving it,
