Encripting your program/file
Author
how do you do that?
encripting your program from a hex editor?
encripting a file that your program makes?
an example of how it is done?
Easy way of programming: Code, Graphics, Swearing....
What sort of encryption are you talking about? what are you actually trying to **do**?
How appropriate. You fight like a cow.

encription were the "computer user" can not under stand and encription were the program can''t be read and edited from a hex file

Okay, I'll restate my question.
Encryption keeps people from doing certain things; e.g. reading your documents, getting the code to the Vault Of Secrecy, pretending they're the president and ordering a nuclear strike on Canada. What do you NOT want people to do? (And don't say "edit something with a text editor". Logically, anything, including encrypted data, can be edited with a text editor.)
EDIT: oh, and for that matter... what do you want them to still be able to do?

I''m not sure how to implement it, but you can do some pretty nice encryption with a cipher and some sort of AND Bit comparison between the data and the cipher. It depends on how secure it needs to be, probably?
An easy, but un-secure way to encrypt is to XOR the binary with another binary string. So, if you encrypt "101101" with "101010" you will get "000111". Then all you have to do is XOR it with "101010" again to get "101101". To prevent users from editing, you can also save the file size of your save file in a separate file, and then encrypt that file too. If the file size as stated in that file and the actual filesize doesn''t match, you know it has been changed.
