Hiding String Constant in Compiled Code

Subject: Hiding String Constant in Compiled Code

Consider a string constant, @"string", in source code that also appears in the compiled unix executable file. If someone knew the value of the string they could easily open the executable with TextEdit, find the string, replace it with a perfectly functioning one of their own making, and then save the file and the application would run with the new string value.

Is there some way to easily hide or munge a string constant so that it does not appear in the compiled executable?
