While this is probably not the appropriate board to ask for help, I am not sure where else to post so here goes.
I have a custom sales force automation/tracking program written in php and running on a LAMP server. I am using port 443 (SSL) and port 3306 for mysql over the net.
The php and https are pretty secure. However, we also Synchronize palm pilots (over the internet) to the MySQL backend. We use the palm java conduits and jdbc drivers to acomplish this. The conduit allows for encrypted passwords to be transmitted to MySQL which we are using. However does anyone have any suggestions to encrypt the DATA as it is being transmitted over the internet?
Is there a way to use SSH/SSL to acomplish this? Does anyone have any other suggestions for "securing" data as it is being transmitted from SALES REP A (on a windows box) to LAMP SERVER via the internet?
Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
