I've never had to decypher a binary file. It's probably possible but it's not something I'd recommend! Or actually I should probably google it before saying that but don't have the time right now.

If it's just a base 64 encoded string it should be dead simple to decode. Chances are it's a proprietary format, as that output [MENTION=2399]czc[/MENTION] posted doesn't look like a base 64 string. Encrypting the file is probably a safer bet to prevent accidental edits to the content, but it won't secure the data by any means.

I once built a secure document format that combines XML content with a custom XSL stylesheet to render WPF in a Windows app, similar to a secure PDF. Only the user requesting the document could decrypt and open it with his/her password.

These days, I'm happy sticking to standard XML or JSON dumps for file storage. As 99% of the stuff I build is server/web apps, the target audience only ever interacts with the GUI and has no need for local storage and I store the data on the server in SQL Server, MySQL or MongoDB, depending on the requirements.
