Preventing reverse engineering or accessing a sqlite file from the binary

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

I was just wondering what type of process the builds go through to prevent someone from accessing a sqlite file in your build. My assumption that there is an encryption that happens to obfuscate the code. However, the app I am creating contains a sqlite file that is important to us and thus we wouldn’t want it to be accessed after the binary is created. Can anybody tell me if the .sqlite file is safe or should I have the data in a different format to prevent someone from stealing our data? What about a cvs file?

thanks,

You should use your own encryption method because Corona doesn’t provide one.
There is Encryption/decryption feature in Rodmap but there is no info when it will be done.

Thanks for the info, its much appreciated.

I’ll have to work that into my pre deployment tasks.

Any suggestions on how to handle this? Maybe a base64 encryption of the file and decrypt it in the app?

Hi.

Try to use a base64 encode with a random seed based on deviceID and other stuffs like;

seed = crypto.digest(crypto.md5, base64.encode(crypto.digest(crypto.md5, system.getInfo(“deviceID”))))
