The one site where I have had to address security concerns we get our data from files, not a database. In that case, I encrypt my data into stacks and password protect the site. I am also looking forward to SSL in Rev which we can hopefully use more discreetly than our browser brothers, otherwise it's gonna be slow-w-w-w.
In another application we are behind the firewall, and remote uses will be VPN.
Hope that helps some.
Best,
Jerry

Thanks for the info Jerry. I have been very interested in using Revolution as a front-end for quite some time now. I have a client who runs all of their customer management, quote generation, etc. through the web which uses PHP/MySQL, DHTML and Flash. The system has evolved over a 2 year period and I can assure you that I *abhor* designing interfaces using current web technologies. Flash MX 2004 is a little better in this regard but it is still a pain to develop in IMHO. I've wanted to create a Revolution front-end to this system for quite some time which wouldn't be difficult because the web app already separates the data from the interface. I would just have to add some code to output the PHP arrays in XML.
The only thing holding me back is that the client I would use this for is in the medical industry and security is a major concern. I would need to do all of the authentication and data transfer using SSL which isn't available in Rev yet. Have you had to address security concerns with any of your current implementations?
Thanks,

I'll jump in here a sec, too...Chipp can talk about how we get data TO the server, perhaps?
I like "JML", my own circumstance-driven approach to minimal self-describing data:
<b64405633704> -- unique identifier (char 1 = year; the integer is the ticks at time of creation of record)

This is data coming back from PHP to Rev.
I extract particular tagged data with this handler:
function getTagData theTagData,theTagName
filter theTagData with "<" & theTagName & ">*"
replace "<" & theTagName & ">" with "" in theTagData
replace "</" & theTagName & ">" with "" in theTagData
replace "|" with tab in theTagData
replace "\" with return in theTagData
replace "/***---***/" with return in theTagData --> Chipp likes this one
return theTagData
end getTagData
