Hi,

It might be worth looking at gm2/gm2-libs-iso/SimpleCipher.mod which
is a module which inserts a Caesar cipher (rot13) on a text channel.  There
are also modules RTdata and RTio which allow you to obtain the device
id RTio.GetDeviceId and attaching data to a device and module.

I attached the Caesar cipher key (say 13) to a device and module using
InitData (see SimpleCipher.mod:InsertCipherLayer).  The
RemoveCipherLayer is similar to a close.  Could this mechanism be used
in your situation?

hope this helps,
