Safe dso's

I have some information in one of my .dso that I don't want people to read. Is there any way to stop an ambitious person from essentially reading my code?

I'm storing and retrieving simple stuff on my database using the 'get' statement (httpObject) accessable from the scripting environment. (Torque>php>mySQL).
Once you see the details of my get statement it's not hard to figure out how to do the same with a straightforward http call from Firefox or IE. So someone could cheat the database.

Any advise?

A better solution would naturally be do simply have the client request that a remote service, such as a server, handle the database instead.

Mike,
Do you mean bypass the PHP layer? I don't know what you mean.

I'm using the 'get' function to essentially do something like this:
http://www.mysite.com/file.php?val=dothis
...so I can easily alter and retrieve values from the database.

Please clarity what you mean.

Encryption seems like a definite option.--
