Having gone though a PCI audit, this may be my own sensitivity, but you may want to consider using host-specific encryption tools when you save any sensitive personal data on disk (unless it is only _your_ personal data :). Here is the doc for what I use: NB. Enhanced version from Oleg Kobchen

Thanks, Bill, I suspected that. Component files not a bad idea, Rick. Not too hard for a preoccupied mind. Or an ordinary file and apply a Caesar code (so crude!). Just thought an encrypted script might be slicker & more general, and to-hand, but doesn't seem so in practice. On Thu, May 3, 2012

Would using component files to store your data be enough. The scripts would still be in clear text but would pull the sensitive personal data from the component files. http://www.jsoftware.com/docs/help701/user/files.htm jfiles and keyfiles are available in the data/jfiles addon I think there

[Jprogramming] encrypting a script

2012-05-02 Thread Ian Clark
Just today my imagination seems to have deserted me... Has anyone got a neat well-tried method of saving/reloading a J script in encrypted form? Just to hide lists of sensitive personal data from casual prying. It doesn't have to be proof against someone who knows J and knows what the script does.
