How can I secure data sent from Flash to PHP?

marblekittykat asked:

I need to secure data being sent from my Flash games to my PHP file.

Previously I was simply using a secret authorisation code, which was sent from the Flash file, and then checked against the code specified in the PHP file. However, using flasm to disassemble the swf I see it is very easy to ascertain this code – or indeed any secret checks that come from within the Flash file.

How can I then make this data secure?

    The only way to send truly secure data is by adding a security certificate to your site, which allows for encrypted data to be sent (the URL would start with instead of).

    Contact your web host for information about certificates.

    You could try to protect the swf file with an encryption
