afaik the term "translucent database" applies to a regular database that
has encrypted data in it. The main differences is in whether the
encryption is one way only (ie. using a md5 hash of a name instead of
the actual name) or reversible (using 3des to encrypt and decrypt the
name). a good example of the former is /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow.

Hi David, the link you provided is quite interesting. Is such
database(translucent database) actually exist? Or is it just a concept?
Thanks
