Secure user password and login impementation


Recommended Posts

Is there any good way to implement secure user password storage (such as hash value) and login (including user right and user group management)? If Daqfactory does not have crypo functions, is it possible to use external ones? and How if possible? Generally such things are very important in production envirotment? Could I know your opinion on this? Thanks.

There are no crypto functions in DAQFactory. This was done largely to comply with US export laws. If we implemented crypto functions for the user, then there are all sorts of regulations that would have to be followed and we'd have to raise our prices. Instead, since DAQFactory has the ability to load and call an external DLL, you can use your own crypto functions compiled into a DLL. Of course you could also use DF script, but the script isn't encrypted very strongly, so would be the weak point. In some ways not providing a single crypto function set makes your app stronger, because it means that DAQFactory users implementing encryption are likely using different algorithms.
