this way the database would have to be encrypted and the matching application would have to be "trusted" in the way that it knows the key to decode the database (without user intervention, that means hardcoded key) and then do the matching/retrieving the file decryption key as long as you are OK with hardcoding decryption keys into the app this is a correct solution, but it is not as safe as one could think Pavel _______________________________________________ fprint mailing list [email protected] http://lists.reactivated.net/mailman/listinfo/fprint
