Can native code database be reverse engineered?

I have written an application using JavaFX with embedded H2 database and compiled it into native Windows instructions using Excelsior JET. Some of the database fields must not be accessed by others. My question is should I encrypt these fields or native code instructions gives enough security?

It might seem irrational to provide application with secret data but I need to do that.

Update: Any suggestions how can I protect them?

Solution

  • Yes it can.

    Any software can be reverse engineered if you have a sufficient level of access to the platform on which it is running. A native code database is no different.
