skill code encoding

Is there a way to encode my skill code?

 

Hi Danniel,

Yes there is ! You can encrypt your skill codes indeed (Don't confuse
encryption with binary making).
The SKILL Language User Guide document ($CDSHOME/doc/sklanguser/
sklanguser.pdf) is helpful on this topic. This a is a bit from Chapter
10:

Encrypting a File (encrypt)
You can encrypt SKILL programs and data files. These can subsequently
be reloaded using
the load, loadi, or include functions. encrypt encrypts a file and
places the output into
another file. If a password is supplied, the same password must be
given to the command
used to reload the encrypted file.
encrypt( "triadb.il" "triadb_enc.il" "option") => t
Encrypts the triadb.il file into the triadb_enc.il file with option as
the password.
Returns t if successful.

Your question has been already discussed in this forum at many times,
these are some interesting and useful:

If your skill is not well protected as discussed in the above links,
it becomes very easy to unencrypt. Have you ever read the following ?

Good luck !
