When designing a mission-critical android application, developers of business intelligence solutions consider confidential data security as one of the top priorities in their software architecture.

With the new release of ITTIA DB SQL, Android developers of embedded systems and mobile devices can benefit from flexible data safety provided by the security and authentication features of ITTIA DB SQL. This allows them to achieve the greatest level of data security in embedded applications by encrypting both network communications and storage media.

Exceptional Authentication Mechanism

Whether connecting over TCP/IP, shared memory, opening a database file directly, or through Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol, ITTIA DB SQL provides a secure channel for remote data management. SSL protocol offers protection from eavesdropping, the unauthorized interception of communications, and uses certificates to prevent session highjacking. Moreover, passwords are never transmitted over the network.

Secure Encryption Solution for Enterprise Businesses

The comprehensive encryption features of ITTIA DB SQL provide Android developers with the opportunity of configuring remote client applications to use SSL when connecting to ITTIA DB on any desired operating system. This secures communication path for data distribution and transfer of client/server applications that are susceptible to attacks all the way from storage media to the client.

Applications can use storage encryption to protect data on internal and removable media from unauthorized access. The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a specification for the encryption of data that is commonly adopted by the U.S. government and others across the world. ITTIA DB SQL storage encryption provides support for the AES-128 and AES-256 block ciphers.
