Here’s a simple script that can prevent that, but it is not the best solution.

on encryptit(x)
set l to {}
repeat with k in x
set end of l to (id of k) ^ 2

OK, but then you can't use bigSecret yourself; your script can only be run once. So you probably add something like this to your script for when you need the value:
on unEncryptit(x) set l to {} repeat with k in x set end of l to k ^ 0.5 end repeat return string id l end unEncryptit
And your second line will need to be:
set my bigSecret to text returned of (display dialog "Tell me a secret:" default answer my unEncryptit(bigSecret))
So I look through your script in a text editor, and sure enough, there's an unEncryptit handler. So let's give it a try:
set x to load script (choose file) set y to (bigSecret of x) tell x to set z to unEncryptit(y) display dialog "The bigSecret is: " & z
We can keep playing this game, and I'll lose very soon -- but it's really becoming security by obscurity, and that's not very secure at all. |
