There is an implementation of a mpl::string by Eric Neibler somewhere. The only way you can prevent it from appearing is by including the deciphered text in the type. Once you have "secret" anywhere, it will normally be in the executable unless you are extremely lucky. What kind of encryption would you use? Sid Sacek wrote:
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. Does boost have any classes that can encode the strings at compile-time? Ideally, the third string in the code below would never compile the "secret" string into the final binary.

void foo( void )
{
char const * s1 = "abc";
string s2 = "xyz";
encrypted_string s3( "secret" );
}
