QlikView Brute Force Attacks

I heard there's no brute force attack for QlikView documents.

I guess it's because the encryption algorithm is unknown. It is always a bad strategy used by Microsoft in the past, because one day someone will find the algorithm.

The encryption should always be based on the key.

What do you guys think?

Thanks, it's a new feature to me, but I don't see what that has to do with this thread...

Maybe you need to clarify what this thread is all about.

Brute force attacks / QlikView binary data format?

How to remove the data from QV applications (File -> Reduce Data -> Remove all values)?

How to distribute applications to users that may not see all data (Section Access?)?

It's pretty unclear to me. Maybe you could clarify what you actually want to do.

In your current idea of a distribution setting (the user uses another connection string), this may lead to load errors if he tries to access tables / fields he is not authorized to. So in the end either he won't see anything (not even the tables he is authorized to), or it will break your data model and potentially makes your app unusable.
