Hello,

For serious stuff complex libraries are needed, I know, but in this case 
a simple algo like a XOR (if it was a public/private key one) would be 
enough. The only requirement is that the "client" can not generate 
easily commands so the generation key must not be compiled in the code. 
It is not a security algo, it's more like make it difficult and nothing 
more, no real security is broken if the choose code is broken.
