In an effort to encrypt private data in my database (national id numbers, credit card numbers, passwords) I have had to resort to writing code in my application using the Blowfish algorithm. Is there any facility for doing this within MySQL (on Windows)? Any third party tools out there? For speed reasons, I don't want to encrypt everything, just the private data in database?
If I have to use the Blowfish algorithm in my client app, is there any standard way of handling keys. I realize this opens up a huge area, but I was curious if there are any simple ways of key handling short of storing it in the executable code of the client app. Also, while we are on the subject, any recommendations of inexpensive SSH server (and client) software for connecting two Windows 98 machines?
