Ok.. Will it be secure if the data is encrypted. mysqldump will show encrypted data right. Actually I want to know what is the best practice for such applications. Can I say that encryption alone is sufficient to secure my data. Or is there any other strategy used for data protection? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Hello all,

I have a requirement of maintaining some secret information in the database. And this information should not be visible/accessible to any other person but the owner of the data. Whilst I know that encryption/decryption is the solution for this, are there any other level of security that I can provide to this?

Which is the best security technique used in MySQL to store seceret information.

PS: Even the database admin should not be able to access anybody else's information

Then you're stuffed - *someone* has to be able to see everything so you can do a mysqldump.

*Someone* has to be able to see everything so you can grant permissions to the other users too :)
