Unless you are going to distribute this on the mass media market, I wouldn't worry too much about encrypting save files. I'm leaving mine open so people can look under the hood and 'cheat' in the game if they so choose. But, you could also 'hide' the save data in .dat files in folders and files that have obscure names and wouldn't lead someone to believe that their save data was in there, but that's just one way.
I'm going to do this because I want to help, even though I believe it will confuse you even more. Attached is a script I got from here (cant remember who made it at the moment) which shows a way to encrypt data.
