Um, no. A database doesn't have anything to do with security. An XML file is not intrinsically tied to The Internet.
You probably do not want to use a database. A database is good for situations where you have structured data with relatively lots of items where you want to do queries against those items using the structure. This is generally not a good description of a document. An XML file can work, but you will find it to be relatively inefficiently especially if you are going to start embedding images inside of it. Note that things like Microsoft's XML document format is actually a .zip file consisting of XML files holding the document and the images stored as separate entries in the .zip.
