.es3 encryption and security
Posted: Mon Nov 15, 2021 10:51 am
Hello,
I recently started to use encryption for .es3 files in my mobile game to prevent users from modifying it.
Also I've heard that some guys can try to do reverse engineering and get the source code, so keeping password as text in the code is a bad idea.
Is it more secure to store password in ES menu - Settings - Encryption Password field? (Is it additionally protected that way?)
Could you please advice some best practices to keep the game most secure from reverse engineering?
p.s. Apart from save games I'm thinking about resources encryption, does it make sense to encrypt resources?
Best regards,
John
