The method given by Bob will work for the casual hex editor user, and is very
easy to implement. But of course, it would take almost no time for a cryptology
expert, to crack this. Sophisticating the method slightly, will also not help,
then. Perhaps it would even be impossible, to have a secure method without a
password, that comes from some external (=outside of the executable) source.
