Thanks Maxim for the reply. We have evaluated disk based encryption etc, but that does not prevent sysadmins from viewing user data which is a problem
for us.

Do you think we could build something using lua and intercept read and
wriite call from cache?

With root level access I doubt you'll be able to meet your requirements. There's tools like ssldump which can be used to decrypt the network traffic, even implementing something via a module/lua would require the encryption key to be read and available for the sysadmins to use.

Personally I'd look at avoiding caching if it's got sensitive data by identifying common request data (paths/cookies etc) and excluding from the cache.

Alternatively, as Maxim has said, review and restrict access to the server.

Steve.
