You can write your own very fast encrption using the wonderful properties of XOR
Crypt will return the original value when passed the encrypted value and vice versa!

Here's a sample.. (i've changed a few lines to protect my own security so please test it :-)

*!***********************************************
*!
*!      Procedure: CRYPT
*!
*!***********************************************
PROCEDURE Crypt
LPARAMETERS cStr, cKey
LOCAL ii, nLen, p1, p2, cStr1, cKey2, cOut, n1, n2, n3
* cKey, if used for tight security, should be a word with a prime number of characters, e.g. "implemented"
l1= LEN(m.cKey)
cKey2= "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABC"  && internal key, length 29
cStr1= TRIM(m.cStr)
nLen= LEN(m.cStr1)
cOut= ""
p1= m.l1 % m.nLen + 1		&& pointer 1
p2= 29 % m.nLen + 1		&& pointer 2
FOR m.ii = m.nLen TO 1 STEP -1
	n1= ASC(SUBSTR(m.cStr1, m.ii, 1))
	n2= ASC(SUBSTR(m.cKey, m.p1, 1))
	n3= ASC(SUBSTR(m.cKey2, m.p2, 1))
	cOut= CHR(BITXOR(BITXOR(m.n1, m.n2), m.n3)) + m.cOut
	* increment the counters
	p1= m.p1 + 1
	IF m.p1 > m.l1
		p1= 1
	ENDIF
	p2= m.p2 + 1
	IF m.p2 > 29
		p2= 1
	ENDIF
ENDFOR
RETURN m.cOut
