The original question was not about _why_ I want to do it but _how_ I
want to do it.
For the "why" part, This user already have a SSL key that require a
Passphrase to do remote commands manually.
This program will be called by the user's crontab and can't handle the
"Passphrase" part of the original Key.
So I created a second Key without any passphrase but I don't want it
to be available too easily. That's why I want to generate it with my
program and erase it before leaving.
It doesn't have to be 100% bullet proof but I don't want to see it
when I do "strings my_program"
Now that you guys have the "why".. let's talk about the "HOW" :-)
For this part I think I'll go with base64 or whatever because rot13
does not include others chars than [A-Za-z]+
Anyone got a better idea?
At the beginning I was thinking maybe there is a compiler flag that
would do the job.. looks like no.. heh
Thanks
