eGreeetings,
I am starting a project that involves encryption of passwords and user names - storing and recalling them.

1st ? = i noticed Gambas can save and recall files from a ".hidden" directory. If the files are encrypted before saving to a hidden dir - how secure is this? In other words would an experienced coder be able to find and copy these files? Would this be the secure/ recommended way/ place to store these files?

2nd ? = shelling out to the "gpg" command line to encrypt / decrypt the password files be a secure way of doing this or is there a better way (i.e. writing the encryption code within the Gambas project)?

3rd ? = Now a GNU question from a real newbie on this subject. With this type of program (Protected Passwords) how in the heck could it be released under GNU? Or should it be? Don't understand how it could possibly be
"protected" if the source code was available to all?

Any suggestions, from the group, would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!
