Java Programming

Hello everyone,

Im trying to find an encryption algorithm where the resulting encoded String is short in length.

this is because I am encrypting url parameters which are sent to the user via SMS text message, and so theres is a restriction on the amount of characters I can use.

My SMS will be a follows:

.........some text.........Please visit http://example.com/c-G7VTAC-SYD-0802-1

I need to encrypt c-G7VTAC-SYD-0802-1, but the resulting string, or 'ciphertext', cant be more than 50 characters.

The algorithms Ive been looking at so far, AES, DES seem to generate huge ciphertext.

Any ideas for an alogrithm that generates short cipertext is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
