XOR encryption isn't a particularly strong encryption: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_XOR_Cipher though a quick Google seems to suggest that people writing ASP apps seem to think it is worthwhile (feh!). No, you'll have to drop to a shell to do this as none of the encryption methods provided by WebDNA will do this (Base64 is, strictly speaking, an encoding).
