Script Packager™ Security
The Script Packager™ was designed with security in mind...
Encryption
Files in the executable package are encrypted.
Source Protection
On Windows 2000 and later systems, during execution files are placed in a specified directory that is restricted through use of Access Control Lists (ACLs) on NTFS drives. Additionally, the Windows Encrypted File System (EFS) is utilized to further protect files in this access restricted folder. After execution, these files and folders are removed.
Note: As a result of the source protection feature, copying files from the temporary directory to other locations on a system, will result in the placement of EFS protected files that will be accessible only to the individual that ran the packaged script. We plan to make the use of EFS security an option in the future to alleviate this potential problem for some uses of packaged scripts.
Alternate Credentials
On Windows 2000 and later systems, you may specify that the packages script is to be run with the credentials of an alternate user account.
