How to hide code in the assembly?

I wrote an assembly in C#/.NET that includes some personal information.
But this information can be revealed by opening the assembly in tools like
the ‘Microsoft .NET Framework IL DASM’ and ‘Reflector’ .
I do not want to expose this code.

How do I hide it?

You can use a 3rd party obfuscator to rename identifiers, etc. Most
obfuscators allows you to encrypt strings, or you can encrypt if yourself,
with simple methods (reversing, XORing, etc.) or using the
System.Security .Cryptography namespace. Of course, if your app must decrypt
it at run-time, the key will be in the assembly and someone could decrypt
it, but you are raising the bar.

I would not recommend actually putting personal details anywhere you dont
want them hacked. If you must put this information in then obfuscate it.

Actually by problem is a bit different then I posted.
I’m sending mail form the assembly, and for that I’m doing authentication
like that
MyMail.Fields.A dd("http://schemas.microso ft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticat e", "1")
MyMail.Fields.A dd("http://schemas.microso ft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername", "UserName")
MyMail.Fields.A dd("http://schemas.microso ft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword", " password");

And by using the tool I mentioned before, this user name and password can be
seen Easley.

How can I hide this data?

Hi again,

1) Why don´t you use the SMTP server of the user instead of yours? That
would avoid authentication. ..

2) If you really need it, then you can encrypt that data so it is no so
easily seen with a decompiler.

Sharon,

I think that when you have the answer on this, you should not sent it in a
newsgroup, you become miljonair.

I think that now every organisation which has to do with creditcards sent
that kind of messages seperated and in my country not by email however by
normal mail.
