Re: software security

This problem can be solved database encryption and security key, but in current version it is not yet implemented.

Hello

If a dialog with 2 informations (User and Password) is enough for your need, take a walk into the forum (I don't remember the theme),
Dimitri has posted an exemple of a Login dialog with table Employees.

Re: software security

Here you can download example, how to  make login and password
http://myvisualdatabase.com/forum/misc. … download=1


but I think for you it will not be enough, you need to encrypt a database linked to the computer (copy protection).

Will you be adding in Crypto capabilities i.e. http://bouchez.info/delphi-crypto.html?  I would like to hash passwords prior to storing in the database and/or encrypting sensitive data prior to storing.

Thank you,

Re: software security

You can use function StrToMD5()

sHash := StrToMD5(sPassword);
