Hide keys used for encryption

843811Jan 30 2006 — edited Jan 31 2006

Hi,

My application has an XML file for preferences and I'm encrypting my passwords while storing them in XML. For this I'm using DES algo and hard coding the key value in the file. I want to prevent hardcoding this key value in the source file as this application may go open source. Please suggest me a solution to hide this key value or some better solution for storing encrypted passwords in XML.

Thanks in advance,
Siva.
