I need an encryption method to encrypt (and decrypt) a contents of a text string  to
a target string which contains only printable characters (or even characters A-Z,a-z,0-9).
How do I do that ?

As far as I know the Jave Encrytion extension JCE doesn't offer such a method.
If I use e.g. Blowfish in JCE it produces a ciphertext which contains Linebreaks (<CR>).
So it is not suitable.

It is not required to be ultra secure.
Does someone know an easy way to accomplish that ?

Thank you
Thorsten
