For our research project, I need to implement an encryption support for Postgressql. At this current phase, I need to at least support page level encryption In other words, each page that belongs to a certain sensitive table will be stored encrypted on the harddisk.
Since we are trying to have a new design that can start the decryption before even we see the data, I need to have some kind of thread support.
I have to say that this is becoming an important problem in the European market. In Italy for example the law impose that if you store personal data about your customers then this information shall be stored in an encrypted form. The bast way I found to accomplish this is using an encrypted file system. Google for "cryptoloop" or if you are brave enough look for StegFS.
