I'm curious about how important people consider on-disk encryption to be. I have two questions.
First question: On a scale from 1 (don't care, wouldn't use it) to 5 (I need it yesterday) how important to us is the ability to encrypt database files. Assume a bobust encryption scheme and a moderately civilized key management system. Please feel free to explain your answer either way. Second question: If you would consider in-disk database encryption, on a scale of 1 to 5 how important is unattended startup, i.e. no human to enter a password, given that it's probably impossible to make such a system robustly secure? I'm interested in abstract attitudes. Don't worry at this point about trade-offs with other anticipated features or release schedule. OK, you can still worry about release schedule, just not in regard to this type of feature. Also don't worry about performance unless every last conceivable cycle counts. Thanks. -- Jim Starkey
