Depending on how much effort you want to put into this, you could create your own debug command that started debug with the key coded in the CPP. Before you allowed this to run you might require an authorization code that you provide to the user. This HMAC authorization code could be generated with a machine serial number and the current date that can easily be verified on the target.

Also, if the source for the program is available on the system you are debugging on, you can debug to your hearts content without a encryption key.

If you want to switch tot he listing view, it will ask for the encryption key.
