Dar, i remember that Scott Raney states in the
MetaCard documentation that stacks level of encription
is not hacker-proof and recommended to use customs
solutions if more protection is needed.

Mark Brownell has already made a Blowfish encription
stack and Phil Chumbley posted some time ago a script
for one time pad encription, but i don't know how
to protect a whole stack with these solutions.

You have a lot of experience in this area.
Could you made a .dll that provides industrial 
strength encription for stacks?
