Have you tried the OpenSSL crypto library? Maybe you could could encrypt your data, and then use an algorithm to put together the key at runtime. It isn't super secure, but he will prevent the data from sitting there on the disk in plaintext.
Another thing to look at is DRM techniques. They need to solve a similar problem.
