Summary
An updated Save System for Unity using simple AES encryption/obfuscation. I had previously implemented a BinaryFormatter but that turned out to be vulnerable to Insecure Deserialisation attacks so this is the updated version.
Allows for encryption and storage of a wide array of data. So long as it can be serialised, it can be saved!
Though it’s not covered in the video, the code also contains things like a custom SetPref/GetPref system, support for multiple files with different data structures, and is just generally very cool!
