Using Merkle's Puzzles, the key wouldn't need to ever be transmitted across the network. It, or a seed from which the key could be formulated, would be contained within one of the puzzles which would be randomly solved by the client, after which some sort of a sentinel/signature message could

If the code compiled with SWFEncrypt is truly not compilable or you consider that code secure, then it wouldn't take too much effort to make this reasonably secure... I'll offer a suggestion that doesn't really rely on it below. Create a wrapper SWF which creates an AES tunnel to the server. A

About the client side (swf file), you could always try to encrypt the swf file with "SWF Encrypt"... people won't be able to decompile and use it as their own. Actually it will decompile but without any usable and/or compilable code. Of course this does not solve the network sniffer problem,
