I am exploring the possibility of shortening / encrypting a URL that will contain from 150 to 250 characters up to 12 characters long using an algorithm. Initially, I doubt it is possible, but I wanted to use the great minds of StackOverflow :)
the algorithm should be one that can be written in classic asp, sql, C #, vb or foxpro or in another language.
Is this even possible without a centralized approach to the database?
I read here that AES in CFB mode will make the stream cipher, and the output length will be the same as the input length. Is there a way to cut it even further?
