had a think
like for like: you need something that can be reversed once
"encrypted", the only way you could convert a name to a true binary
number and then decode it would be to have a massive lookup list of
binary numbers (serial numbers fo each name) and associated names and
a way of ensuring each encryption was unique for different names and
the same for each time the same name was "encoded"....
I think what you want is encryption if it is to be reversible and
someone has probably written a cypher and de-cypher script to do
this.....
letter to chunk: As you have a base 26 alphabet, trying to "reduce"
this to a base 2 format means you could generate a binary number for
each letter from 1 to 26 (1 to 11010 or 10000 to 11010 if you fill in
spaces to generate strings of 5 digit phrases ) , so consider the name
smith would expand five fold, decrypting this would be easy so you
need a cypher and a like for like letter transposition can be cracked
based on number or letter frequency
you could convert each letter to its letter number a=1 b=2 etc etc
convert that to binary and stuff in any spacer zeros so you could then
grab 5 decrypt it to the letter, grab the next five etc etc
Or have I entirely lost the plot?
