All of these methods suffer from the weakness that, in the end, they do trust data from the client, so a determined hacker can disassemble your program and send any score he wants.

I am curious about that to tell you the truth. Is it *that* easy to disassemble a C++ program and understand what it does ?[...]
If you have some experience with assembly, yes, it is *that* easy. I just started learning to reverse engineer a few weeks ago, and it only took me a few hours to find that one of the steps in a procedure was to compute the MD5 has of a password. Now that I've been doing it for a few weeks (maybe an hour a day average), I'm mapping almost every function in a program I knew nothing about that was coded in a very strange way.

Thank you hplus0603 and Extrarius

How naive of me to think it was that hard to crack a program...
Thank you again guys ; I will definitely focus on the subjet (when coding a client program) with more consideration.
