A file storage is a sequence of transaction logs. Currently, it writes the transaction log in clear text. An "EncryptedFileStorage" would instead write and (later) read (partially) encrypted log entries. For the details, you would need to carefully look at how "FileStorage" works. But, have you read (and appreciated) my objection? I repeat: Why is it significantly easier to protect the key[s] used for the encryption than the storage itself? If this is indeed the case for you, you might find the use of an encrypted filesystem even more attractive: there all your files (and not only part of the storage file) are encrypted. Of course, key handling will remain an issue... -- Dieter _______________________________________________ For more information about ZODB, see the ZODB Wiki: http://www.zope.org/Wikis/ZODB/ ZODB-Dev mailing list - ZODB-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zodb-dev
