How to lock the container's code

[meyay (Metin Y.)]

Questions about how to protect your intellectual property inside a container comes up occasionally. Short answer: the same way as you would have to do it without containers.

Here is one of the other discussions:

Container Security & Encryption

Thank you. So, would the solution be to put the algorithms in a binary (external to the container) that is used by the container? Apologies, I am relatively new to containers. I know you said “without” containers but we have a scenario where a container would be useful. If we could protect the algorithms by using an externally mounted file, that would be helpful.
