| How does the calculator generate random numbers? On the TI-89, which generates the same random numbers, there are two system variables for it: seed1 and seed2. Does it have a sequence where f(n+1) = f(n) xor f(n-number)? |

I'd advice to learn some computer programming languages (Maybe QBASIC or PASCAL) first, but here are some C++ tutorials: (I find the top one to be the best, it's also the one I used to learn C++)
http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial
http://cplus.about.com/library/blcplustut.htm
http://www.cprogramming.com/
I hope I still have a lot more information/tutorials on C++ on some old CD's, so if you want I can upload it all. Don't know if it's worth the trouble, because I'm not sure how much of that info I can find (my rooms a mess  ) and how much I actually backed up on those CD's.
If you want you can, don't want to put you through too much trouble 
I'll just see if I can learn this stuff first and if I need it, I'll ask alright?
Btw: how do i change programs to appvariables or progvariables or whatever? (you know, the stuff that doesn't show up in your program list) I saw a ASM prog that did this, but it didn't work...
Also, how do you unarchive progs from within another prog?
Unarchive ProgName doesn't work...

This is what I got so far:
(I made a seperate prog that I delete after I run it through their calc: Note: this isn't entirely "hack-proof" but it'll work with regular students like my school has)
Prog A:
Code:
ClrHome
1->dim(ListA
{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,15,32,-32,7,24}->ListA
3.2689254->[B]N[/B] (Variable from Finance)
2.39->PV (Variable from Finance)
Input "Name: ",Str0
-3.59->I% (Variable from Finance)
ClrHome
Prog B: (PV is pretty much my 'locater' variable)
Code:
If PV(does not equal)2.39
Goto Z3
ListA(11->A
ListA(12->B
ListA(13->C
ListA(14->D
ListA(15->E
If B=(2A)+2 and C=-B and D=(A-1)/2 and E=(A*2)+6 and A=15 and [B]N[/B]=3.2689254 and I%=-3.59
Goto Z1
If B(does not equal)(2A)+2 or C(does not equal)-B or D(does not equal)(A-1)/2 or E(does not equal)(A*2)+6 or A(does not equal)15 or [B]N[/B](does not equal)3.2689254 or I%(does not equal)-3.59
Goto Z3
Lbl Z3
ClrHome
Disp "Unregistered","Program-","Quit trying to","steal and go buy","it!"
DelVar ADelVar BDelVar CDelVar DDelVar E
Stop
Lbl Z1
DelVar ADelVar BDelVar CDelVar DDelVar E
Lbl Z2
ClrHome
Disp "Welcome",Str0
Pause
ClrHome
...rest of prog...
I know I have a ton of code in there that I don't need, but that's basicly what I got. |

During program execution, you will never need this:
Code:
If B(does not equal)(2A)+2 or C(does not equal)-B or D(does not equal)(A-1)/2 or E(does not equal)(A*2)+6 or A(does not equal)15 or [B]N[/B](does not equal)3.2689254 or I%(does not equal)-3.59
Goto Z3
because Lbl Z3 follows so you'll get there anyway. |

| Thanks, can someone please explain to me a Factoring Program? Also, I edited my old program and will post it whenever I can. |

Nope, sorry, I was never good at factoring 
Hey i have a good scheme (i think 8])
It actually involves two passwords, one is the seed, and the other can be a string as long as you want.
Code:
:Lbl 1
:"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789 .,!?(){}[]/+-*=>< ->Str0
:0 -> B
:Clrhome
:Menu("Crypto","Crypt",2,"DCRYPT",3,"EXIT",4
:Lbl 2
:1 -> B
:Lbl 3
:If not(B
:-1 ->B
:Input "TXT:",Str1
:Input "KEY:",Str2
:Input "DATE:",A;the date can be in the format MMDDYYYY or DDMMYYYY
:A -> rand
:For(A,1,length(Str1
:instring(Str0,sub(Str1,A,1),1)+Binstring(Str0,sub(Str2,randInt(1,length(Str2)),1),1) -> C
:;add value plaintext with value keytext to equal ciphertext
:If C>length(Str0):C-length(Str0) -> C; essentially a modulus function
:If C<1:C+length(Str0) -> C; same with this line
:If A=1 ;this is so you dont have to have a "beginning"
: ;character to establish a string
:Then ;<
:sub(Str0,C,1) ->Str3 ;<
:Else ;<
:Str3+sub(Str0,C,1) ->Str3 ;<
:End ;<
:End ;end of crypto loop
:Clrhome
:Pause Str3;this allows you to scroll through the string (built in TI function)
:Lbl 4
:0 ->rand ;to erase "evidence"
:DelVar ADelVar BDelVar CDelVar Str0DelVar Str1DelVar Str2Delvar Str3
:Clrhome
:Output(1,16," ";the double quotes are to show that there is a space inbetween
:them, this removes that annoying "done" after a program
;execution.
:If not(b
:stop
:Goto 1
BTW this was done out of my head so if there are any bugs lemme know!
PS i formatted it for the TI-83+

| or, i can just write an asm program that checks the calc ID# (cannot be changed by the user)...then again... they could edit the program... |

| I'll try that thatnks pyxle86 and Darth, I got a Protect app that can't be unprotected (I mean, I haven't found a way to yet). Too bad it'd require me to send two progs at a time... Although I'm almost willing to do it, but I just thought of how hard it'd be to have to do that for every calc just so they couldn't trade it (This is going public, we just don't want certain people to have it). I was thinking... Since I use finance variables and they have to be defined before I can send the program (I think it does Error: Version if I don't) then couldn't I send a prog that defines one variable and if that variable is defined, i'll be able to send another prog that defines the variable for my security program and have that file untradeable (I delete the first program that defines the variable)? I think the title's been misleading, it's not so much as a password program but one that stops trading from person to person unless it's sent from me or my friend's calc. |

| Can't they just edit the programs and delete the protection part? |

| Yes, even if the program is hidden, they can just unhide it. |

So... if I lock it using the Protect App, how do they edit the prog? I'm confused 
Also... oh wait, do u mean that it's not really protected, they just hide the program in the edit list and you can find it if you know how?
I'm so confused  |

| If the program is hidden, they can't run it except in Mirage, which is very buggy with basic programs. |

Essentially, you are creating too few possible encryption keys (seed values)
Actually, I think a random seed of 1.23 is the same as 123 or .0000123. At least it worked that way on my 89 and the 83+ gave the same random numbers so I'd guess they do it similarly.
Edit: I repeat my question, because it apparently has gone unnoticed:
Quote: How does the calculator generate random numbers? On the TI-89, which generates the same random numbers, there are two system variables for it: seed1 and seed2. Does it have a sequence where f(n+1) = f(n) xor f(n-number)?

TI-Basic => TI-BASIC
