I think these 3 items would have to be 'all OK' or 'all not OK'. If it's important to obscure the Author/Title then both almost certainly appear in both Cover image and metadata. Both also frequently occur somewhere in the TOC ncx entries, e.g.
- "Other books by Joe Smith"
- "Praise for My Fabulous Tome"
Incidentally, is there any great benefit in trying to retain the cover image? It's much easier to obscure
all images than it is to identify which is the cover in a badly coded ebook. It would also reduce the size of the scrambled copy if it's not retained.

Admittedly I've hardly spent any time dissecting ebooks with their DRM still intact, but when I did the only encrypted files were the html (including the markup, obviously) and the images. The CSS file and OPF file were unencrypted. Do you have a different experience?
