Possible Workflow

pmlencrypt.exe, the encryption utility program supplied with this release, is a command-line program designed to be included in your PML software development process.

One possible workflow would be:

• Make sure that you have a current backup of the source PML

• No tool is supplied to decrypt an encrypted file, so it is very important that you keep good backups, in case you overwrite the source PML with an encrypted version.

• Copy the source folders to a new location

• Not all files within a PML folder hierarchy are always PML. Images, for example, should not be encrypted, but may need to be supplied with the encrypted versions of the PML.

• Encrypt from the copied location back to the source location. This will overwrite recognized PML files with encrypted versions, and leave other files untouched.

• Compare the source and copy locations to make sure that all the files you wish to be encrypted are encrypted.

• Test your new encrypted PML.

Consider writing a batch file, a perl script, or a PML script to automate this procedure for your particular environment, to make it easy to create the encrypted PML environment correctly each time the source PML is updated.
