Security and distribution

[Lupine]

Hello,
I notice that I can condense and obsificate(whatever)
my bytecode, but what about the other resourses in the .jar file such as graphics and data files.
Can I at least password protect the .jar files from being opened at all??

PLease help if you know...

not that i am aware of. if you password protected your jar, you would have to supply the password to all apps that need to use your jar...kind of defeats the purpose!

 

[Lupine]

no. it doesnt.
how do I implement that?

well, only answer if you want to.
I see that It would be of little help
to password protect a .zip within the
.jar.
since it would get cracked open very
quickly. So I am forced to host applet
sessions instead. Which has its own
pros and cons. Anyway I'm surprised at
the lack of interest on this issue.

see ya's
