Using password on my "media" folder

[cyberion]

Welcome !

I'm using 3ds Max and Irrlicht 1.3.1 engine so far I'm only thinking about security of my media files (*.tga, *.bmp, *. jpg, *.wav). In example my media folder has been compressed into zip file and I can not use a password because while programme is running an error is shown on my screen I don't have any idea how to resolve it I was looking for Virtual File System but nothing has been found Also compiling resources in exe files is so complicated for me

Search the forum for SQL

I think someone put in support or was going to put in support for password protected zip files but as has been said before the password protection is completely useless and doesn't prevent access from someone who wants to get in it.

Abouth the SQL, try this:
http://www.sqlite.org/index.html

Can someone shed some light on how does SQL DB can help in this situation please?
Thanks.

MasterGod, search the Irrlicht forum for SQL.

you could crypt that stuff yourself..
(its not THAT hard ) I implemented RC6 in ASM in two days.. So I guess it should be possible to do it in one in c++/any other high level language.
RC6 is an symetric encryption, that took part at the AES contest and made place 5 or stuff. To be honest its wounded, soyou would need less than pure brute force trys, but if take enought rounds (20 for example) on who would like to break it would need way more than 2^200 operations.
I use 128 rounds myself which is kind of useless much but its still as fast as 10GB per second (in asm..) of course file loading is WAY slower, so you will never get this performance, but well, its fast enought...
here are some weblinks that might turn out to be usefull:

Only that hardiness and performance of the encryption algorithm is irrelevant when you need to store the key phrase alongside somehow. Just don't bother! Invent your own archive format by minimaly changing an existing one and be done with it. Everything else is throwing pearls before the swine.
