:) That's why I would like to anonimize it with a one way function, like md5
more or less is. (I know that it's possible nowadays to create source texts
that produce the same md5 hash, but no guarantee that this source is
actually the cleartext.) All I need is that the same input will create the
same output. The inputs are strings btw.
Thanks already very much,
-Hendri.
