Encrypt JSON Question Data?
Hi All, I have a Storyline 360 project where the testing team has identified that the JSON data for the course, including the question text can be accessed in the browser via the browser developer tools (pressing F12 in the broswer).
Does anyone have a suggestion for hiding or encrypting this data?
Many thanks
Lee

Completely see where you’re coming from – it’s tricky because anything sent to the browser can technically be accessed one way or another. Obfuscating or encrypting the JSON could help a bit, but it won’t make it completely bulletproof. It’s a bit like the crypto world – constantly evolving, with a growing market and more people paying attention every day. If you're interested in where these trends are heading, abm-conference.net might be worth a look.
you could use in a post processing step
- openSSL e.g. in python to encrypt the json data
and extend the storyline player with
- crypto-js or perhaps Web Crypto API to decode the data
