| I'm curious about how important people consider on-disk encryption to be. I have two questions. First question: On a scale from 1 (don't care, wouldn't use it) to 5 (I need it yesterday) how important to us is the ability to encrypt database files. Assume a bobust encryption scheme and a moderately civilized key management system. Please feel free to explain your answer either way. |
Judging by all the comments I have been hearing in the past years from FB users, who are afraid of having data stolen because SYSDBA (from another server installation) is be able to access anything in the database file, 5.
| Second question: If you would consider in-disk database encryption, on a scale of 1 to 5 how important is unattended startup, i.e. no human to enter a password, given that it's probably impossible to make such a system robustly secure? |
