Use simple encryption

Simple encryption is equivalent to obfuscation and makes it more difficult for someone using a disk utility to look at the file to decipher the data in your database. Simple encryption does not require a key to encrypt the database. Simple encryption technology is supported in previous versions of SQL Anywhere.
