Hi all,
I use Firebird in my java application (connecting via JDO-JDBC) as an
embeded database. I have requirement from my users to have the file
with data protected by password.
In an embeded world, standard db password that I provide to jdbc
connection is not real protection as I suppose that gdb file is not
encrypted so everyone can read data from it.
Can someone give me any tip on how to solve the problem? I suppose
Firebird has no option of encrypting db file. Maybe I can use any
toolkit or external library for this purpose. Maybe it is resonable to
try to include data encryption somewhere on jdbc driver tier or jdo
library tier? Any ideas?
Thanks.
