How does the protocol for the database encryption callback work? If I
look at the implementation in Firebird ADO.net, it just tries and keep
sending the same key in a while loop until Firebird responds with
something other than op_crypt_key_callback, which seems a bit weird.
So what is in the buffer of the op_crypt_key_callback from server to
client, and what should be in the op_crypt_key_callback from client to
server? Or is that plugin specific?
Also, IIRC, there was a change for database encryption that led to wire
protocol v14, exactly what changed between wire protocol v13 and v14?
On a related note, when using the native API, it looks like the
encryption callback registration is process-wide instead of
attachment-specific. Isn't that a great way to send encryption keys to
the wrong system (if you're using multiple databases and/or systems)?
