If all you really need is basic, simple encryption to discourage "prying
eyes",
you might want to consider a simple XOR method on the querystring value(s).
Simply iterate through each character in the querystring and convert it to
the value obtained via XOR with an integer from say, 1 through 255.
The advantage of this is that it can easily be done on the client side with
VBscript or Javascript without .NET, and you can use the same function to
"decrypt" by passing in the encrypted string to the very same method XOR'ing
each character against the same integer.
Quick, fast, very few lines of code.
