Delphi / Pascal Encryption
Delphi and Object Pascal still power a lot of Windows desktop software, line-of-business tools, and older codebases that predate .NET. You get fast native executables, visual designers, and a familiar component model. Free Pascal and Lazarus carry the same syntax across platforms if you are not on Embarcadero’s stack.
Those EXEs are trivial to open in a resource editor or a strings utility; serial checks, licence server URLs, and SQL connection hints were never meant to stay secret in source. StringEncrypt emits WideChar or Char code that decrypts at runtime so your literals are not sitting in cleartext next to the form definitions. Pair it with real software licensing if you need more than casual hiding.
String encryption supports both UNICODE (WideChar type) and ANSI (Char type) strings.
