How are people protecting their Twitter oAuth consumer key & secrets?

Our app's been approved for reverse auth, but this means we'll need to
embed our key & secret; I'm worried that it will be trivial to extract
these. Any suggestions?

These are the Twitter app's consumer key & secret, rather than the user's...
