Regarding the first observation, the real threat is the appearance of not taking the collection and retention of the data seriously.

Regarding the second observation, I would love to know how to incorporate public key crypto into a database front-end - specifically one made in MS Access. That would be the preferred option to a hash+rainbow table by a long chalk.

If all you want is the appearance of security, why not use XOR? Better yet, use something like Crypt::Rijndael so you can claim to be using the Advanced Encryption Standard. As far as the database goes, you can encrypt your data (with padding, Xilman++) before you do your INSERT and decrypt after you do your SELECT.	[reply]

With respect, XOR only provides the appearance of security to the naive or ignorant. Ethics committees are, for the most part, neither.	[reply]

Indeed, I was being a bit silly about using XOR, which is why I included the bit about AES.	[reply]
