[blurb]FileMaker Pro databases deployed by FileMaker Server are increasingly being used to support the business-critical operations of work groups in large enterprises, of distributed multiple off-site office locations, and of entire organizations as well. These files are often complex and large in the multi Gigabyte range. Often individual tables can contain millions of records. Such systems are increasingly moving into the domain of what was once thought of as “Big Iron” systems, but frequently they employ none of the protections traditionally found with such “Big Iron” systems. Business owners with large amounts of mission-critical information stored in FileMaker …

A hash is a short sequence of characters that uniquely represents a piece of text. Changing any part of the text will change its hash. Store the hash of one field or the concatenation of many fields to determine when any of them have been altered. This can be used for security or to determine when changed records in two databases need to be synchronized. When a hash is “strong”, it’s virtually impossible to calculate what text created it. Therefore, if you store a strong hash of a password instead of the password itself, only the hash can be stolen, but the hash won’t reveal the password. To verify a password, just compare its hash to the hash you stored. …
