I just created a PHP page that spits outs some data from my database in an XML format. This data is fetched from a flex application I made.
I had spent a long time formatting my tables and database information and do not want anyone to be able to simply type http://www.mysite.com/page_that_spits_out_XML.php and steal my data. However, at the same time I need to be able to access this page from my flex application.
Is there a way I can prevent other people from doing this? Thank you!
The only thing that is really going to slow down a datathief is encryption, make sure that your flex app is obfuscated and that the key and the encryption function stored within is neither guessable nor easily extractable.
This is the best you can do, but it’s not a type of solution I would generally recommend. If someone REALLY want that data they are going to get it.
