2  * Trivially encode strings to protect them from innocent eyes (i.e.,
3  * inadvertent password compromises, like a network administrator
4  * who's watching packets for legitimate reasons and accidentally sees
5  * the password protocol go by).
6  *
7  * This is NOT secure encryption.
8  *
9  * It would be tempting to encode the password according to username
10  * and repository, so that the same password would encode to a
11  * different string when used with different usernames and/or
12  * repositories.  However, then users would not be able to cut and
13  * paste passwords around.  They're not supposed to anyway, but we all
14  * know they will, and there's no reason to make it harder for them if
15  * we're not trying to provide real security anyway.

39  * We divide the ASCII character set into 3 domains: control chars (0
40  * thru 31), printing chars (32 through 126), and "meta"-chars (127
41  * through 255).  The control chars map _to_ themselves, the printing
42  * chars map _among_ themselves, and the meta chars map _among_
43  * themselves.  Why is this thus?
44  *
45  * No character in any of these domains maps to a character in another
46  * domain, because I'm not sure what characters are valid in
47  * passwords, or what tools people are likely to use to cut and paste
48  * them.  It seems prudent not to introduce control or meta chars,
49  * unless the user introduced them first.  And having the control
50  * chars all map to themselves insures that newline and
51  * carriage-return are safely handled.
