It all depends on how rigorous you want to be. If you only want to make the database difficult to use by an ordinary user then you can do things like make it a hidden file and apply very basic encryption using a Caesar type algorithm or a rot 13 shift. But if you actually want to encrypt the data in a secure way that will deter hackers then that will require industrial strength tools which are much more complex both in operation and use. You should also consider things like file ownership and user accounts for your app, complete with separate logins etc. It all depends on how much security you want to achieve. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
