You can google for cryptography or look in Wikipedia. Now the question is: will this game be played through the internet or on someone's computer? If it is run on a computer then both the program and the keyfile will be on that computer, so whatever algorithm you use the user can use it either to detect the password derived from the key or choose his own password and generate the corresponding key and put it in the file. Or even change the program and take the check out. You could use some obfuscation to make it difficult, like they do in DRM but basically you cannot hode it from the user. If you use an internet connection then of course you can keep the relevant data outside of the reach of the user. -- Piet van Oostrum <p...@vanoostrum.org> WWW: http://pietvanoostrum.com/ PGP key: [8DAE142BE17999C4] -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
