How to encrypt String in Java

Question

What I need is to encrypt string which will show up in 2D barcode(PDF-417) so when someone get an idea to scan it will get nothing readable.

You might want to consider some automated tool to do the encryption / decryption code generation eg. https://www.stringencrypt.com/java-encryption/

It can generate different encryption and decryption code each time for the string or file encryption.

It's pretty handy when it comes to fast string encryption without using RSA, AES etc.

Sample results:

// encrypted with https://www.stringencrypt.com (v1.1.0) [Java]
// szTest = "Encryption in Java!"
String szTest = "\u9E3F\uA60F\uAE07\uB61B\uBE1F\uC62B\uCE2D\uD611" +
                "\uDE03\uE5FF\uEEED\uF699\uFE3D\u071C\u0ED2\u1692" +
                "\u1E06\u26AE\u2EDC";

for (int iatwS = 0, qUJQG = 0; iatwS < 19; iatwS++)
{
        qUJQG = szTest.charAt(iatwS);
        qUJQG ++;
        qUJQG = ((qUJQG << 5) | ( (qUJQG & 0xFFFF) >> 11)) & 0xFFFF;
        qUJQG -= iatwS;
        qUJQG = (((qUJQG & 0xFFFF) >> 6) | (qUJQG << 10)) & 0xFFFF;
        qUJQG ^= iatwS;
        qUJQG -= iatwS;
        qUJQG = (((qUJQG & 0xFFFF) >> 3) | (qUJQG << 13)) & 0xFFFF;
        qUJQG ^= 0xFFFF;
        qUJQG ^= 0xB6EC;
        qUJQG = ((qUJQG << 8) | ( (qUJQG & 0xFFFF) >> 8)) & 0xFFFF;
        qUJQG --;
        qUJQG = (((qUJQG & 0xFFFF) >> 5) | (qUJQG << 11)) & 0xFFFF;
        qUJQG ++;
        qUJQG ^= 0xFFFF;
        qUJQG += iatwS;
        szTest = szTest.substring(0, iatwS) + (char)(qUJQG & 0xFFFF) + szTest.substring(iatwS + 1);
}

System.out.println(szTest);

We use it all the time in our company.
