How to hide source codes for classic asp?

The only way you can prevent others from reading your ASP code is if you are the only one with complete control over the server. As long as there are other people who are administrators there is nothing you can do to prevent them from seeing the source. This is all an issue with administrators having local access to the machine (as opposed to someone gaining access to your source over the web via http – under normal circumstance with proper permissions this is not possible).

If you must stick with classic ASP, the alternative is to compile your algorithm source into a VB component and call it from your ASP code.

Then again, if this is work you are doing for your company, then it's your company that owns this intellectual property. If you have to rely on other people in IT to run your servers then at some point you need to trust other people as well. Perhaps this is something you should discuss with your company's legal counsel.

To make your ASP source more secure, you must set up it not to be ''downloadable''. You should lock your ASP Files (the account you use for the intranet) and allow the access through the server. With this way the source will never been showed. Moreover, I would suggest to evaluate your hole security of your data.
