Full Version: Securely storing API Keys in on Desktop app
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I have this scenario:
My .NET Desktop application executes Python scripts to access 3rd party applications. These applications often require Oauth2 authentification.
I dont want to expose my API keys in the C# source code (nor Python scripts source code). As far as I read there is no safe way to do it.
I expect to have to somehow navigate this workflow around a server of my own.

Does anyone have a suggestions how to deal with this situation?
