There are a couple things you can do. If you host your own site or your host allows custom components, you could create a .dll to do all your processing. If not, Microsoft has a utility called "Script Encoder" that will do just that encode your ASP code so that it cannot be read or stolen by anyone. I have used it and it works great.

We obviously cannot write it down anywhere (code it into an application), as that compromises our security. Would anyone be able to suggest or give some guidence on the best methods to ensure our encryption key is secured and not able to be compromised? Thanks for any help Andy --------------------------------------------------------------------- Home : http://groups.yahoo.com/group/active-server-pages --------------------------------------------------------------------- Post : [email protected] Subscribe : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Yahoo!
