Par2: Encryption security using Owner () atribute 1998-09-15 -- Jim DeFabia The encryption method used is proprietary.
It is less secure than DES, but is relatively secure against a text attack
(a hacker's first line of attack). For most realistic purposes, it is
sufficient. I guess I would not want to see it used for government secrets,
but I wouldn't be concerned about credit card numbers.
The length of the encryption key is up to you. The Owner Name (OWNER
attribute) is the encryption key. IOW, the longer the OWNER you provide, the
greater the encryption. I like to use long ones and I always include some
non-alphanumeric characters. I also use a variable and provide a value to
that variable in code. This prevents snooping with a Hex Editor (into the
exe) to find the key.
