shrug-l: Encrypting Shapefiles

[Keith Sandell]

Hey Shruggers,

 

Anyone have anything for this?

 

I've looked around for stuff on the net and ESRI's site and the
impression I get that while it may be possible the resulting shapefile
would only be viewable in the package that encrypted it.

 

Basically I'm looking for a way to encrypt a shapefile that could be
viewed in any industry GIS software that can read standard shapefiles,
but not allow its geometry or attributes to be edited.

 

Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

 

Thanks
