It's actually one of the most obvious omissions from REALbasic's framework right now that there's no encryption/decryption class. There are plugins (eg from Einhugur). If you'd rather not go that route, you could either use a simple obfuscation algorithm (eg Rot13) that would be easy to implement in REALbasic, or I suggest you explore using an encrypted database. I guess it seems like overkill, but I believe it will be fairly secure, and extremely flexible. And SQLite (the Database engine built into REALbasic) is fairly frugal with space.
