You can use the DES-derived scheme built in for script encryption in 3

I meant to mention something about DES 56 bit key length... Anyway it has been bragged about by some crackers that some weak uses (less than 40 bit key lengths) can be cracked in under ten minutes by someone that knows how to attack it. I guess a few words regarding use might be more to the point. Even if your secret source code in your commercial application were cracked there are better protection resources, at least in America that is. The Millennial Copyright Act offers legal protection for anyone that circumnavigates the intended protection built into a software application that was intended not to be copied or that its source code was designed not to be freely distributable. It's a crime, not just a civil matter that would be enforced in a lawsuit.

My need for encryption is to protect content like copyrighted intellectual property rights. I feel that the password protected stacks in RunRev is adequate for what it does.
