Built-In Simple Encryption

(This functionality is deprecated)

The other encryption methods built-into db4o, is called simple encryption. To use it, the following two methods have to be called, before a database file is created:

.NET:

Db4o.Configure().Encrypt(true); Db4o.Configure().Password("yourEncryptionPasswordHere");

The security standard of the built-in encryption functionality is not very high, not much more advanced than "substract 5 from every byte". This is great for systems with limited resources, or where the encryption needs to be done as quickly as possible.
