Vidhya,
Gnumeric handles file I/O & dealing with formats using
plugins. Which is how it imports/exports XL, OOCalc files
etc.
So just start looking at writing handlers/plugin for
your specific needs.
As for password protection it beats me on how/what
kind of secure encryption algorithm youre going to use
and implement. Given to me Id just use another program
to encrypt/decrypt this stuff, anyway it beats me.
