[ZODB-Dev] Feature Request: Database Encryption

[Ricardo Olenewa]

I'm probably not the first to request this, but:

Are there any plans to build strong encryption (AES, perhaps) into ZODB? From a
security perspective, this would be an excellent addition. 

I've read some year-old chatter about placing data.fs on an encrypted file
system, which is a great idea, but only one part of an adequate solution if
you're looking for strong security. An encrypted file system only protects you
against physical theft of your unmounted file system.

In any case, some way to encrypt the entire ZODB would be great. Some way to
encrypt records by user would be even better, but probably not worth effort.
