Secure connection without installing DLL's

Post by sjorford » Tue 28 Nov 2006 05:40

I've got an interesting problem - I'm building an app that accessess mysql over the web, and security is obviously a big issue. As far as the data is concerned I'm limiting each user with their own set of views, but I need to encrypt the connection. here's the issue - the app is intended to be a single executable with nothing installed , just a download and run. I may be able to get away with storing certificates on the client machine, but thats it. I won't be able to install any dll's. Does anyone have any good suggestions on how to approach this. I'm scratching my head pretty hard here!

The next version of MyDAC will have support of SSH protocol via the Core Lab CryptoLibrary component set. Next (fifth) version of MyDAC will be released very soon.
