Boost does not have one. If I were you however I would look into a commercial protector such as themida (www.oreans.com) or armadillo or asprotect. ------Original Message------ From: Sid Sacek Sender: boost-bounces@lists.boost.org To: boost@lists.boost.org ReplyTo: boost@lists.boost.org Sent: Apr 27, 2009 8:21 AM Subject: [boost] [encrypted strings] 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. Regards, -Sid void foo( void ) { char const * s1 = "abc"; string s2 = "xyz"; encrypted_string s3( "secret" ); } _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry
