Security of program's content files

[Barry Levine]

I am developing a program that will utilize many pictures, audio, and video files. In order to minimize memory requirements, I'm using Image objects and Player objects, then populating those objects with a "set fileName..." command. There are a number of reasons why it would not be wise to import all of those resources into the program.

What will be a worry, however, is the "vulnerability", so to speak, of the Resources folder which is where all of the files will be stored. I'm not particularly concerned about the folder being tossed as there will be an original on the distribution CD which can be copied over to the HD. The worry, rather, is that the "content" can be copied and used for other purposes by people who are not authorized to do so.

So my question is: How can I encrypt (if that's the right word) the files so that they are useless to anyone -except- when running my program?

Thanks,

Barry
