Since he's talking about fields only and in an export format,
perhaps just a simple mathematical manipulation on that one
field, and stuff the computation into a dummy and export the dummy.

In one of his other posts he said it only needs to be made
non-obvious [my interpretation], so he realy doesn't need
true encryption but just security through obscurity.
