One answer: You can't. Everything is created at runtime (that includes
the classes themselves), and thus should be obvious in the executable
code.

Another answer: I suppose you could, if you created some C function
that ran before any Objective-C stuff is called that would decrypt
some class/object data you have in your executable. But that's pretty
complicated.
