So,  we can virtually use any database to do the job. It is really the
function of the program to encrypt(save) and decrypt(read) the sensitive
data.

Does anyone knows such a program that can handle such function?

Thanks

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
