title: Java simple encryption
body: <p>I would like to encrypt a textual (configuration) file stored on disk.
  Trying to use <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Encryption_Standard" rel="noreferrer">DES</a> encryption I've had fatal error on client machines, I later found out the algorithm could not handle accented characters (!)
  I suspect that was because I was using old packages (<code>sun.misc.BASE64Decoder</code>) - but I'm not sure that is the reason.</p>
  
  <p>However, I'm looking for a simpler solution - I need a really simple encryption (I know some people would not agree on that) - not <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA" rel="noreferrer">RSA</a> of 128 bit keys or so, just obscuring the text from curious eyes.</p>
  
  <p>It is really weird that I could not find a simple trivial solution on the web.</p>
  
  <p>How can I implement a simple encryption scheme?</p>
