Is there a way to encrypt design under Quartus?

Hi guys, I have done a design under Quartus II. I am wondering is there a way to encrypt it? I intend to let others do testing on it, but I dont want them to see the source code. Thanks.

Probably off-topic here, but if you just want others to *test* your design, why not just give them your bitstream/programming file?

Unless they're also co-designers working on other portions of the project, they probably wouldn't need your source files (or encrypted source files).

If you want to encrypt your bitstream file, that's another story.
