Android Question Savest MSSQL connection?

[kkingstoun]

Hi,

i'm looking for secure idea to connect android with remote MS SQL server.

http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/connect-android-to-ms-sql-server-tutorial.13166/

Is it only one way to connect MSSQL ?

May another database?

You can use RDC to connect to any type of database. RDC is more secure out of the box.

However you can modify the ASP.Net script and put the queries in the script. This will make it secure as well.

The top line of the above tutorial mentions that the Remote Database Connector (RDC) is a more powerful way.

How secure do you need it?

None of the options mentioned is very secure because they don't use SSL connections. A secure connection would use HTTPS to connect to a web server and use something like oAuth2 to authenticate the request. The request from the Web Server to the database server would also be done using an SSL connection. All this done with proper certificate providers rather than self generated certificates.

keirS is correct. I was referring to a different aspect of security. Which is the ability of a hacker to modify your app and harm the database with a sort of SQL injection.
