Crypting Custom Properties in a raw xml file

Hello everybody,

My team has got some sensible data that we do not want to share.

I have found a way to encrypt some Custom Properties.

But I want to go even further. I do not want these Custom Properties to be seen in the raw xml file on Github.

Do you know a way to do it?

    In that case, you can store these values in external txt file and fetch them run time. That way these values not be visible in your xml file.

    1. If these property values are dynamic then you can delete those before pushing the project to GIT

    2. If these values are static then you can use any encryption method to encrypt the property values.

      My data are statics. I can use the encryption but they can still be seen in the raw file.

      Do you have any other solutions ?
