I am writing some simple login scripts. I am just wondering, is there any advantage of using the hashing and encryption functions in MySQL over PHP or the other way around?
I know using a stored procedure, I could possibly be transmitting sensitive information insecure. On the other hand, it may be simpler to maintain.
Are there any benefits of using either?
The only issue I see of using mysql for encrypting sensible data is that if your web server that is running php is in a different location of your mysql, you may send sensible unencrypted data over the network that is communicating this two parties.
