Securing SQL Connection String Abstract Securing authentication information used to establish connection between two applications is one of the most critical aspects of application security. This paper will focus on protecting connection strings used to authenticate communication between the web server and the back-end database. We will discuss and evaluate the vast array of options available for storage and protection of the connection strings.

Because connection strings are dependent on the type of data source used, we will be specifically referring to the connection strings used to connect to the SQL Server in the Windows environment. Today, a distributed computing environment is an integral part of core business operations. Information system environments of most companies are complex and require the integrated functionalities of a large number of applications. Most of these applications need to communicate, pass data and exchange functionalities in order to accomplish a number of complex processes. In order to prevent unauthorized access or abuse of the established connections, communication between applications is established in the authenticated fashion.

Connection strings contain authentication information used by the applications to connect to the data source, which in many cases is a database. With the development and growth of the public Internet, the need to prevent unauthorized access through the Web enabled application has grown drastically. Most of the e-commerce websites collect or display some type of information to the end users. This information is commonly stored in the database that is connected to the web server.

Thus a database in most cases is the depository of critical and often sensitive in nature information. It becomes critical to protect connection strings used to authenticate to the database from unauthorized access.
