Security

Hello guys,

I'm planning to create an application for managing finances. (could need it for personal use)

As this application handles sensitive data I would like to encrypt the user's data with a symmetric approach. (e.g. AES)

Should I encrypt/decrypt the data on my client or on server side? (Consider HTTPS working)

If on server side, how do I use Crypt::encrypt($value); with the user's password?

If on client side, what libraries can you suggest?

Regards,

Stefan
