I want to write a program to maintain some important information for me , but i don’t want to use sql as database because it is very important for me that no one can access the data , i want to save my data in a file and i want to use a password to protect my file like password in winrar software and then can access the data just in my program, can anyone give me an idea ?
Thank u all 🙂
Why not encrypt the file using AES? Here is a great tutorial for C# and Rinjdael/AES encyption and decryption of files.
EDIT:
But as mentioned in another answer SQL does provide password protection for its databases, would that not be the exact same thing you want to do (except you will be re-inventing the wheel)
