| Jan 22, 2015 at 7:31 | comment | added | awe | As Jim say: "Cryptography" is a noun which is more likely to be a class name. Although you are asking for a word that means both "encrypt" and "decrypt", you are also saying that this is for naming a small class. So why not use "Cryptography" for the class? | |

| Jan 22, 2015 at 5:02 | comment | added | Jim | parse as a method name seems to work because it works for both operations. But if you're looking for a class name then it'd be ImageResourceManager or Utilities or FileOps which could then in my mind, have separate operations for read/write code/decode | |

| Jan 22, 2015 at 4:59 | comment | added | Jim | I dunno. Why do you feel that way? I kinda feel the same- The title asks for something meaning both encrypt and decrypt which are verbs and thus would typically be used for method names. "Cryptography" is a noun which is more likely to be a class name. Synthesize is a verb which again sounds like a method name. I don't really like synthesize because it connotes creating something rather than transforming something. I don't like encrypt/decrypt/cryptography for your use because it is not really being encrypted- just obfuscated and thus is very misleading. | |
| Jan 22, 2015 at 4:41 | comment | added | Krythic | @Jim Just came across "Synthesize". It seems—with somewhat of a logical leap—as though it could hold both ranges as a whole. | |
| Jan 22, 2015 at 4:38 | comment | added | Krythic | @Jim However, yes, I could just use the word "Cryptography" or "ImageResourceCryptography". | |
| Jan 22, 2015 at 4:37 | comment | added | Krythic | @Jim why do I feel like you have no idea what you're talking about? | |
| Jan 22, 2015 at 4:17 | comment | added | Jim | But why do you need one word for reciprocal operations? Maybe you just need class.parse(). | |
| Jan 22, 2015 at 4:15 | comment | added | Jim | in Unix, the crypt program encrypts clear text and decrypts cipher text and is often used as a verb. "Just crypt it." | |
