Hi to all.
I am trying to make more secure my project. I have an project that is build
around the midas technology in Delphi. I'd like to protect my tables in
CDS format with an password. What choices do I have?
Thank you .
 

Do you mean you are saving the CDS files directly to disk? If so, you
can encrypt them prior to doing so. Use something like that Abrevia or
LockBox tools on Sourceforge.

Every field in dataset have the OnGetText and OnSetText events.
You may encrypt your values in OnSetText and decrypt in OnGetText event. So
saved file will be encrypted too

currently no way of encrypting the CDS datafile.

Currently, there is no support for password protection.
