Compilation would result in these lines being treated as errors - they aren't valid fox code. While compilation could provide encryption, it'd be difficult to reverse the encryption for later extraction - there's no 'decompile', especially with 'decrypt' available. You'd be better off creating the data file as just that, data, and then using a robust cryptological mechanism, such as the Win32 CryptoAPI, to handle encryption and decryption of the data values.

You could embed the lines shown as comments, but compilation with encryption strips comments. You could enclose them in a text block. It seems like a poorly considered approach.
