True, but even encryption is little more than security though
obscurity if the keys are stored locally. Requesting a key to
decrypt the code via some key exchange mechanism with a remote host
is unfortunately not an option in the case I am looking at.
The purpose here is really to make it just painful enough to
discourage reverse engineering.

This may be slightly off topic, but does anyone know of any object
code obfuscators which will work with mach-o binaries (PPC and
x86)? I've looked around but haven't had much luck. The only
product even remotely related I've been able to find is a C/C++
source code obfuscator from stunnix (http://stunnix.com/prod/cxxo/
overview.shtml), which I assume won't much good in terms
obfuscating the generated object code.
You should be aware that information theory dictates that all
unencrypted, obfuscated object code can be deobfuscated via static
analysis; this is probably not worth your time to pursue.
