Add Encryption Feature

See original GitHub issue

Feature request:

Add the ability to encrypt the .asar archive with one or more algorithms based on client-submitted hash/seed/salt. Conversely, also add the ability read the encrypted .asar file by providing the hash/seed/salt.

This would slow down reading times, but for an added benefit for those wanting to keep their code safer. A quick Google search for .asar and instructions to unpack will be the first result.

how about a solution where electron-packager handles the encryption of the asar file with a random key and only electron executable is able to read it?

or a unified encryption key unknown to users for all asar files. and the key would be included with electron itself (though this is less secure)

I believe the best thing to do is to not implement this feature
