This function encrypts a string using an encryption password that you specify.
Encrypted strings using this function are encrypted using strong (AES/Rijndael) encryption - the data can NOT be recovered if the password(s) are lost. The resulting data may have unprintable characters, so you may not be able to save it using INI functions. Another solution for writing encrypted data to a text file safely is to convert it to a text representation of HEX data. See the example used in EncryptString.
