Secure store

[Guest]

Hi,

Is there any secure store that I can use in the pocket PC?
I need encrypt some data (sdf file), but I do not want to hard-code the
value to avoid decompilation.

Thanks,
Steve

Steve,

Not that I'm aware of. Encrypting the SDF file makes it secure, but for a
secure way to store the password for accessing the SDF, you'd need to
encrypt that too. You could even use a simple text file or registry setting
once you've encrypted the contents. Check out the Crypto API wrappers on
www.opennetcf.org for code.
