Many ways to secure database. Firebird 1.5 allow to set database with alias. we can set this at file aliases.conf. there is in folder C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_1_5.
we open this file and get this sample alias.
# dummy = c:\data\dummy.fdb
Before we write alias name, please open ms dos prompt copy your database into system operation folder c:\windows\ and than rename .
for example
c:\windows\rename data.gdb Data.com
or
C:\windows\rename data.fdb Data.com
So we have new file data.com with format gdb or fdb, every user will think that this file is not file fdb or gdb .
after that we open C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_1_5\aliases.conf
write in it
data=c:\windows\Data.com
and than save this file
How To connect...?
Databasename : Ip:data
or we can use computer name
Databasename :Computer name:data
Data is name alias from data=c:\windows\Data.com

Database Open Source Firebird
Firebird
Firebird 1.0 was essentially a bug-fixed version of the InterBase 6.0 open source edition with some minor new features. Development on the Firebird 2 codebase began with the porting of the Firebird 1.0 C code to C++, together with a major code-cleaning undertaking. Firebird 1.5 was the first release of the Firebird 2 codebase and as such a significant milestone for the developers and the whole project.
* Firebird 2.0 was released in 2006. The latest stable version is 2.0.3 which was released in September 2007.
* Firebird 2.1 went into beta testing in mid-2007 and is likely be released soon.
* Firebird 3.0 will merge code from several codebases, including Firebird 2.1, Vulcan, and Fyracle. As such, it will not be released before 2008. The schedule at Road to Firebird 3.0 is not up-to-date.
Around the 20th birthday of the InterBase/Firebird product line, original creator Jim Starkey recollected:
"September 4, 2004 is the 20th anniversary of what is now Firebird. I quit my job at DEC in August, took a three day end-of-summer holiday, and began work on September 4, 1984 in my new career as a software entrepreneur. As best as I can reconstruct, the first two files were cpre.c and cpre.h (C preprocessor), later changed to gpre.c and gpre.h. The files were created on a loaner DEC Pro/350, a PDP-11 personal computer that went exactly nowhere, running XENIX. Gpre was my first C program, XENIX was my first experience with Unix, and the Pro/350 was my very last (but not lamented) experience with PDP-11s."
More information on Firebird's history can be found on the InterBase/Firebird History pages.
