From: catalinfest on 28 Mar 2010 02:59 Dear friends . I have two simple questions: It is possible to encrypt with md5 python source code? What option do I have to protect my python source code? Thank you .

Also, md5 is not an encryption algorithm at all, it is a secure hashing function. (well, not so secure anymore nowadays, which probably is why Lawrence already wrote to avoid using it). irmen
From: catalinfest on 28 Mar 2010 09:00 I had a talk about Python and distribution of commercial products created with python. This made me think of a way to protect my source code to be distributed. I thought a live CD version and then to an encryption method of a portion of source code. These thoughts are the source of two questions.

I'd suggest that you don't think about encrypting your source code until you have a rather better handle on encryption technology. Your mention of MD5, a hashing rather than an encryption algorithm, makes it clear that you aren't familiar with the technologies at present. There's nothing wrong with ignorance (I have a more than adequate supply of my own), but in encryption it's *very* easy to make mistakes that render whole systems vulnerable to trivial attack. So you do really need to know what you are doing. regards Steve -- Steve Holden +1 571 484 6266 +1 800 494 3119 See PyCon Talks from Atlanta 2010 http://pycon.blip.tv/ Holden Web LLC http://www.holdenweb.com/ UPCOMING EVENTS: http://holdenweb.eventbrite.com/ |
