Transparently en-/decrypt package resources

Hi,
we want to store our resources (nibs,xml&everything) in an encrpted way. We dont go for security (which would be kinda pointless here) but we would like to keep nosy ;) end-users from going through the package's content and maybe editing something here and there.


So what we'd like to do is apply a XOR.. or so encryption and on the fly decrypt our resources.
The thing is, we dont know where to hook in?!


We could do it at startup before NSApplicationMain loads the principal class, I guess, but that'd be a last resort, because IIRC that would mean reading,decoding and then writing the files again. (Not to mention encrypting once the app's done.

So. what is the adviced tequnique? Surely someone tried this before!? (if not, then why not :D)

Regards,
Dominik
