Ruud calls it tokenization, but after a simple test on small scriptlets, I found out he is using some level of crypting as well.

as example, see the following:
Code:

00000000:1a af 06 00 00 10 b8 25 6d a6 b7 a5 9c 3c 8b d7 .....%m<
00000010:f2 41 61 51 9a 76 0b 6c 94 14 4b e3 c3 a5 01 cb AaQv.l.Kå.
00000020:44 bd ef d5 57 f5 5f 9d 63 DW_c


Code:

00000000:1a af 06 00 00 10 f3 1d 67 f3 7b e0 eb 67 5d 03 ......g{g].
00000010:9d aa 66 50 bd 4a c0 c1 50 41 ec 42 86 b0 6a 41 fPJPABjA
00000020:9a c7 37 a4 77 f1 82 40 42 7w@B


Code:

00000000:1a af 06 00 00 10 26 2c 95 ac 92 34 8a a1 9b 9b .....&,4
00000010:cf 48 64 eb 77 aa f9 fd f5 be 20 2f 97 aa 70 a3 Hdw /p
00000020:e1 d6 53 cb a9 69 e5 32 ea S˩i2



and what are the original codes?
just 3 kix files containing only one character 1, 2 and 3 respectively

now as I think of it, fuscation would be better name than tokenization.
even though the end product might contain some tokens, it's larger than original, it's sometimes even slower than the original and the result has lot more than just tokens.
thus, tokenization is not really what the /t switch does.

It is tokenization with obfuscation.

So it's tokenization with encryption using some type of symmetrical key. Ithink he said as much earlier when he talked about tokenization. However, I thinks it's mroe than just obfuscation.

My guess would be that he is using one of the Microsoft cryptography libraries
which probably gives rather good security even if using an older library compared to obfuscation alone.

Doubt he wants to stand on a box and proclaim it is unbreakable.

If someone was determined I'm sure it could be broken, but for normal use that
most of us use it for I would doubt any of us or our users are going to easily
decode it.

well, that crypto library theory is quite right in fact.
if you look at what libraries kixtart loads you see what I mean.

also, when the tokenization versions came out, there were issues with win9x and cryptolibrary was a problem.
