This is directed to the user that claims to have expanded his 18 digit CC number to a 12kb document. The fact that you encrypts 18 bytes to 12000 bytes means that you have a whole lot of redundancy in your ciphertext. The more redundancy you have the more information your ciphertext tells about the choosen key (or in other words - the unicity distance is extremely low for your encryption system) -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.md5.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+16526 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+16526 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+16526
