You might consider a full disk/volume/partition encryption maybe?

I use this for my private files and it's awesome. Cross platform and can do
virtual partitions on an actual physical drive.

Can any of you share with me the names of any third-party tools or
appliances that you are using to encrypt your MySQL databases? I am
doing a search and would like to narrow down the initial
search list.
Thanks!

I use ccrypt from http://ccrypt.sourceforge.net to encrypt databases
before storing them on removable media for offsite storage.
Platform is a Sun Ultra 45 running Solaris 10 and the command looks
something like,
mysqldump db_name | bzip2 | ccrypt -e -k keyfile | ...
(Note the bzip2 in the pipeline. This reduces the size of the
files by a
factor of between 5-8.)
It's certainly more than fast enough for my needs. I suspect
most of the
time is taken up by mysqldmp and writing the ouput to the
external media.
