 - **Number obfuscation** – Hides `int` constants via math expressions (`123` → `(50*3)-27`, `(a<<n)+b`, etc.); decompilers show expressions, not literals. `long`/`float`/`double` still use XOR. Less prone to constant folding than simple XOR.
 - **Array dimension obfuscation** – Hides array sizes (`new int[8]` → `new int[(8 ^ key) ^ key]`)

-- **String obfuscation** – Encrypts string literals using XOR; **decryption inlined at each use site** (no central decoder class). **Key per class and per string**: each string uses `key ^ class.hashCode() ^ index`, so no global key and different strings get different keys. Strong against `strings`-tools and casual inspection. **Note:** Determined reversers can still trace decryption logic – obfuscation raises the bar, not unbreakable.
+- **String obfuscation** – XOR encryption; inline decrypt at each use site (no central decoder).

Strong against `strings`-tools and casual inspection.
 - **Optional random keys** – `numberKeyRandom`, `arrayKeyRandom`, `booleanKeyRandom`, `stringKeyRandom` for different keys/patterns per build
 - **Debug info stripping** – Removes source file names, line number table, and local variable table. Decompilers show `var0`, `var1`, etc., and lose source mappings. Configurable via `debugInfoStrippingEnabled`.

 ### Strength
 
-Obfuscation raises the bar for casual and automated reverse engineering. Numbers are hidden as math expressions at compile time; decompilers show the expression, not the literal. Strings use **runtime-computed keys** (`key ^ class.hashCode() ^ index` per string), decrypted inline at each use site—no central decoder, no single breakpoint to dump all strings.
-
-We chose XOR over AES for string encryption: AES would be overkill for typical JAR obfuscation and adds complexity (IV handling, block size). XOR with per-class/per-string keys is lightweight and effective against `strings`-tools and casual inspection. **Issues and PRs are open**—if you want AES or stronger encryption, contributions are welcome.
+Obfuscation raises the bar for casual and automated reverse engineering. Numbers are hidden as math expressions at compile time; decompilers show the expression, not the literal. Strings use **constant obfuscation**: each character is built from math expressions (e.g. `(char)(50+59)` for 'm'), so API keys, secrets, and literals never appear as readable text. No string in the constant pool; nothing for `strings`-tools to extract. **Issues and PRs are open**—if you want AES/XOR encryption as an optional mode, contributions are welcome.
 
 Realistic caveats: determined reversers can still trace decryption logic; obfuscation is a deterrent, not unbreakable protection.
