Are the files that are associated with the digital downloads in the ecommerce store encrypted, hidden or some other type of security?

Hello.The file download link looks something like this: "https://test.com/cart/x5cart.php?download=4c8def49666c758d9026668d774828bd1de5c779".
...and you can set the time the temporary download link is valid

Hi Aleksej,
Thanks. Just to clarify, do you mean it disguises the file name?

Hi Claudio,
Thanks, that will help to reduce the risk.

Is there any risk that a search engine finds the digital download files and someone can access in that way? Is it necessary to encrypt?
"Thanks. Just to clarify, do you mean it disguises the file name?" - yes.
"Is there any risk that a search engine finds the digital download files and someone can access in that way? Is it necessary to encrypt?" - I don't think search engines will find these files.But you can disable such URLs in the robots.
Disallow: /cart/x5cart.php*
You can encrypt your files to sleep better, but you have to send the key to your clients.Manually.

Perhaps a password could be included in the standard email Wx5 sends with the link.
