Off the bat I'm new to IT Security and encryption and I have some basic algorithms written out by hand and I was wondering what language/programs might be good to use for someone with only a basic understanding of programming.

I am familiar with encryption and the theories behind making strong algorithms and don't worry I'm not planning on using this to encrypt anyone's data other than my own.

Thanks in advance

Hi machina - welcome to Security Stack Exchange. This question is one that has come up all across the Stack Exchange network - which language is best for xxxx? And the answer is always as @Jacco says. Use whatever you want to start with - knowing more languages is better, so keep learning, but start with whatever you have. – Rory Alsop♦ Jul 17 '12 at 8:57

The language is just a tool, so choose whatever language you feel comfortable with.
