I'm still talking about theft of machines (particularly laptops) as that is a major threat. One need only read the British newspapers to discover story after story of articles where "sensitive information was on a laptop which was stolen". As pointed out elsewhere, psql + encrypted drive is entirely unpractical as no OS is setup to ask for an encrypted drive password on boot (similarly for headless machines, user interaction is required). A practical solution that accomplishes the same goals as the encrypted drive is necessary. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/RFE%3A-Transparent-encryption-on-all-fields-tp23195216p23241410.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - hackers mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
