in reply to Re^2: Opening an Encrypted DB_File database
in thread Opening an Encrypted DB_File database

If you encrypt a file with a known format (like a DB file), wouldn't an attacker have information to assist in decrypting the entire file? I thought it was recommended not to encrypt data that was predectible or known, because it gave a target to shoot for.

Just my $0.02 USD.
