Adobe Air - Using encryption with SQL databases or EncryptedLocalStore?


I need to store 6 sets of passwords and usernames with Adobe Air 2.5 Should I use a SQL database or the EncryptedLocalStore for it?

Thanks. Uli


Solution

  • It depends on how the information will be acquired and then used. If it's info that an application user provides, and it's then being cached for future use, EncryptedLocalStore (ELS) could be a good way to do it. There are some benefits and limitations:

    Check the docs at https://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/data/EncryptedLocalStore.html for more info on when and how to use ELS.
