Encrypted Database

R

Rob Bunocore

I have a system with a front end and back end. There is going to be a
need to send the back end (tables) back and forth between two users.
They want to accomplish this using FTP. The only problem is that the
data is a bit sensitive and they want to ensure that the data is safe
while sending it through FTP. As far as I understand, FTP is not
secure and we are having trouble setting up SFTP with our current
provider.

My question is, if I encrypt the back end tables before I send it and
then use regular FTP, will the data be secure? I haven't used
encryption at all yet. Would I have to decrypt the database once the
second user receives it?

Thanks.
