Write data to file which cannot be viewed
-
I am developing a c++ application which deals secured information which should not be viewed but to be saved to a file. Is there a way to write to a file which cannot be viewed directly by the user from disk whereas it could be read by the program.

Do what Richard says encrypt it when your write and decrypt when you read it. You can go from simple XOR encryption if it isn't that important to the real heavy stuff and there is a pile of libraries and code out there.
