hey, you are living in a bad metropolitan area, isn't it? =;-D
ok.. no joke...
as already said, you can resort on external crypting tecnologies... you
could even write your own cypher .Net algorithm and pass your data in and
out befor saving and after reading... but nothing out of the box...
and xml + encrypted folders suffer the same problems... nothing is
uncrackable
