I'm wondering about the security of using a random alphabet with this instead of the default one. In my mind this amounts to a form of cryptography, but I have no idea how to analyse how much security it gives.
EDIT: Reading the faq I see that they insist that sqids cannot provide any encryption. This does not fit with my understanding of the word. Using unique random alphabet is probably the oldest form of encryption. Whether or not it is secure enough depends on your threat model. What I want and what I need is a way to calculate the security provided by a random alphabet.
