Security question? Escaping or "sanitizing" data for BigDB?

Postby mrgreen » April 24th, 2011, 1:11 pm

Hi my question is regards to security:

Do we need to do anything with user input? Like when users enter data into textfield and that is saved and sent into the database?

I mean like esacping/sanitizing input to prevent injection? Of course i know BigDB is no mySQL, but was just wondering?

Or is it all handled on the playerIO side, and we can just safely pass on anything the user inputs and you will handle the security?

It's all serialized automatically before being sent to our servers, and each method calls a separate webservice that only accepts appropriate data, so it's impossible to do anything malicious.
