BlueJay924 Posted July 14, 2003 Posted July 14, 2003 I want to be able to encrypt my data from an ms access database, but from what i read, the security provided by MS Access is easy to break. one message i read said was to not store the actual value, but to store its hash value. This works fine but the data cannot be decoded and i need to be able to decode the encrypted data. Does anyone know how i can accomplish this? does anyone know of a good, secure encryption/decryption algorithm? Quote
a_jam_sandwich Posted July 14, 2003 Posted July 14, 2003 Access97 was easy but 2000+ is a lot harder. Its a case of scanning through dictionarys or using a brute force approch of trying different letters to try and break the code. My suggestion is make a Access2000 database with a lengthy password containg letters and numbers. Andy Quote Code today gone tomorrow!

ehsen Posted July 14, 2003 Posted July 14, 2003 Use Access XP It is better for you to use Office XP version which is more stable and comes with the more reliable encryption algorthims.:) Quote

*Experts* Volte Posted September 3, 2003 *Experts* Posted September 3, 2003 .NET has a bunch of built in cryptography functions that may be of use to you. Look at the System.Security.Cryptography namespace. Quote
