Re: Security Question

[Fagyal, Csongor]

Thomas,

I am trying to find a solution to the following security issue with MySql DB on linux

- Someone copies the DB files to another box, starts a mysql instance, loads the DB and presto - views the 'private' data !!!
 

Well, "someone" should not have access rights to the DB files on the 
first hand.

Ideally I would like to know if there is any option in MySql to store the DB files in a secure format and one that needs a key or similiar to open the DB
 

If someone was able to access your DB files, he would probably also be 
able to access that key (that you must store _somewhere_), wouldn't he?
