FWH 18.01 will include automatic data encryption/decryption in Class TDataBase

For me as a developer, using Data encryption is just a case of last resort .. most if not all data breaches have been through the penetration of a Web Site ...

Encrypting memo fields is not a big issue. This can be resolved.

The real problem is Index files. Contents of index files are not encrypted.

Thanks for the response, but being things like that, it is a very serious problem for all of us who use dbf files throughout Europe, if we want to apply the GDPR to our programs. In my programs it is very common for a dbf to have a memo field. Where do you record the customer's observations if not t...

So, it seems dbf files with memo field is not possible for encrypting, neither in harbour nor in xharbour. Yes, you're right. I checked and I used that only for DBF without memo fields. do you use DBI_PASSWORD in production programs ? pls Yes. how to encrypt dbf files ? pls As I already wrote: DBIN...

Let me clarify, if you use a system like Eset's, then the entire disk is encrypted and they handle email too. And I'm sure there will be others like theirs. Otherwise, I think (x)Harbour is going to need to include the code for encryption. It has to be high level encryption, and we can't all find ou...
