You can use the DES-derived scheme built in for script encryption in 3
lines:

  -- First we turn it into a single line to avoid runtime script limits:
  put base64encode(tData) into tData
  --- tuck it in a script:
  set the script of someObject to tData
  -- encrypt the scripts of the stack:
  set the passkey of this stack to "MyPassword"

To retrieve the data you set the password, get the script, and pass it
through base64decode.
