The Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 Database Engine provides two features for securing local databases on the supported devices:
Password-protecting SQL Server Compact 3.5 databases
Encrypting SQL Server Compact 3.5 databases
SQL Server Compact 3.5 also provides connectivity security options. The connectivity between SQL Server Compact 3.5 and Microsoft SQL Server relies on correctly configuring the security models for both Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) and SQL Server.
