Storage encryption

Open ocombe opened this issue 10 years ago • 4 comments

We could add an encryption functionality such as the one described in ngStore for Angular 2: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DMacL7iwjSMPP0ytZfugpU4v0PWUK0BT6lhyaVEmlBQ/edit#heading=h.57girrphcre7 And something like that maybe: https://github.com/jas-/secStore.js

How insecure is indexeddb/websql when used in a phonegap app? Is it easy for someone to access and interrogate stored data?

Well you just have to plug the device with usb to a computer and you can remote inspect the webview with chrome or safari. You can then access the storage (indexedDB, WebSQL & local storage) and read all the stored data. But you need to have the device in hand to do that.

Thought as much. Decided to keep some data in parse.com and less sensitive stored.

Let's open this back up for 1.4.0.
