The encryption: base64 encoding

Nah, you just XOR the data with itself and it becomes uncrackable.

Also after encryption like this the result can be compressed down to 4 bytes as long as the data is not larger than around 4Gb, 8 bytes if you need more.

My god, that is absolute perfect encryption (completely uncrackable by brute force) and compression. This is genius and I'm gonna switch all my data to this encryption scheme. Now I just need somewhere to store the decryption keys...
