RE: _cipher API vs Qc3Encrypt/Qc3DecryptData vs SQL

True, and that is where I might put it since I do want it to be always encrypted but I still need to figure out if I do the trigger with _cipher or Qc3 APIs. I don't think the SQL method would work in a trigger

Is there a way to determine if a field has already been encrypted? If so,
then the encryption could be in the trigger associated with that file.

_cipher API vs Qc3Encrypt/Qc3DecryptData vs SQL






I am working on my first application that needs to use Triple DES
encryption to encrypt a single field in a database. I found an example of
doing this using the _cipher mi API and the Qc3.. APIs and SQL. Is there
any difference between the three methods I found to encrypt data?
Obviously the SQL method would require me to do SQL inserts instead of
writes. Is there any difference between the two different APIs? _cipher
looks like it can do both where the Qc3 apis have one for each direction.
