    Default Make Config files unreadable

    I have a application using various configuration files (ini,css, xsd and xml). I don't want the user to configure or read these files. In my developing environment I want the files to be human readable, but when I Install my application I want to make them unreadable. So what I need is a “reader” that can parse unreadable gurba to string and the readable text to string. And a writer/converter to make the files unreadable when I deploy my application. Anny hackable Ideas?

    For the xsd and xml files I need to do something smart in order to make it work with the parser (Codesynthesis that uses xcersis). Anny smart Ideas?

    I am tired as heck and cant post the full source here due to post lemgth constraints.

    Look for BlowFish as a sample algorithm!
