Hi, I know this has been discussed a lot. I did read the mail archive and found lots of interesting info. Although I have a problem. We're developing a windows software that has to exchange sensitive data with a mySQL server. I read about implementing a SSH tunnel. It works well, although I have not found a free ssh client for windows. Even if I did, it would not be really helpful as we don't want to explain to our users they have to "install a third party software that does IP tunneling in order to transmit data securely". Any suggestions? Even if SSL support was added to mySQL, I guess I'd still have to wait for SSL support in the client libs we use on windows (ZeosLib)... I am ready to encrypt every sensitive fields in the database, although I am wondering if the username and password will be transferred in plain text. I've seen somewhere that it isn't, but what kind of security/encryption is used and can we consider it safe? Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
