Any scripting language has to read a file containing the code to run. It
doesn't matter if its CF, Perl, Rebol or even Asp. If the file is encrypted,
then the script engine can not read the file nor can it run the script. I'm
assuming that MS has something built into asp to automatically decode the
file for use, but no other script engine has that ability. They can not
unless MS gives out the encryption code and they integrate it into the
engine. As Rey said, this would render the whole thing useless.
Using this logic, I can say that every scripting language will be effected
by this.
