Android Question Data security, in remote SQL database

[james_sgp]

Hi,
I`m developing a B4X app and will be storing/accessing potentially sensitive data from a remote SQL database using PHP (I can`t use RDC, as I`m using Godaddy server). I want to make sure the data is secure, Is encrypt the data in the app and send (encryption password, would be in the app), practical or not? Or is there a better suggestion? All data will be text or numbers, only.

FYI, the data needs to be accessibke in the app installed on both Android and iOS.

Thanks, James

1. Use https.
2. Encrypting the payload with a password embedded inside the app can help a bit.

Remember that a user can run your app on a rooted device and access all the app files.
