Does boost have any compile-time classes for string encryption? Is it even possible?
When a hacker dumps an executable, they can see all of the strings the program might use, and some of those strings may contain sensitive information.
Obfuscation doesn't lead to security. I suggest you change your design so that if the user of a program shouldn't know about some information, then the program cannot know of it either.
