Is this some kind of encrypted text. If so what is the message? What algorithm do they use to encrypt it.

With my answer, you can have a bash at decoding the second one too :) — Tim Barrass, Dec 23 '10 at 09:41

Maybe; have you tried base64 decoding it, etc?

EDIT: yep, or something close to, as it's not all human readable -- if you let us know the context in which you acquired it, someone might be able to guess the format. Otherwise, we'll be making all sorts of guesses.
