I have been giving this a lot of thought this week and while I would
love to provide some form of file encryption in the app, if a user
is worried about that there are a ton of free utilities that allow
for easy encrypting of single files etc on the device.<br>
<br>
I would love to potentially put something in the app that would
allow for the file to be moved easily back and forth from device to
desktop and have all the encryption be transparent to the user. That
said, right now my focus will be on getting the app to a point where
the user can actually keep track of basic items on their device
(add/delete/edit payees, accounts, categories and transactions).<br>
<br>
From there I want to move on to some stuff with the schedules and
then maybe encryption items. I get that it is a big deal and it does
need to be addressed, but in the mean time there are options for
those who are worried enough to do so.<br>
<br>
I almost have all the CRUD stuff completed for Payees, Accounts and
Categories which are all very simple. Then the transactions and
splits before I will need to be done before I can "release" an early
beta.<br>

the desktop to the phone and back they don't have to deal with
decrypting the file then moving it and encrypting it again.

KMyMoney uses GPG for its encryption functionality.

The database backend is not encrypted right now. That said, you can put the
database on a trusted computer with VPN access. Then you could setup a VPN
client on Android and point the KMM app at it.
You could also look into encrypting the SQLite file, but that would not work on
other databases. There is also the issue of where the decrypted file is stored
while in use.
