[gdal-dev] using encrypted data

[Yilmaz Arslanoglu]

Hi all;

One of our customer wants to share their data which is in ESRI Shapefile format.
However, they also would like to limit the usage of this data such
that the contents
will be utilized only through our software, and not for any other purposes.

Does anybody have a suggestion about how this could be achieved ?
Does GDAL have any related encryption based support, and is there any
GDAL supported encrypted vector formats that we can convert it into?

Best regards,
Yilmaz
