Yes, if you have sensitive data, then you should use encryption. Maybe your app is in a sandbox, but you dont know if the device has been jailbroken or a bug in the iOS system has been found, so if you want to keep the confidential data confidential, use encryption. > Are there build in ways to encrypt the db? I cant ensure under iOS because i did not used it, but usually, sqlite allows you to encrypt a database just giving a password to the connection before creating the database, in this way, when the db is created its encripted with the given password. Here you have some examples under .net, maybe those will help you find the way its done on monotouch http://sqlite.phxsoftware.com/forums/t/130.aspx Enviado desde mi iPad El 21/03/2013, a las 18:59, Matronix <[email protected]> escribió: > I have a current application that I will be be expanding on.
