Hi.
That is an article on www.linuxuser.co.uk , issue 34 entitled "A Guide to filesystem encryption"
that may do what you want to do.
It uses a method called "Loop-AES" http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net .
Hope it works for you

The new italian law about personal data protection (aka "privacy") requires the use of cryptography _both_ for protecting the network traffic _and_ for protecting the (personal) data stored on the hard disk.
While I can see how to protect a PGSQL connection using SSH tunneling or a VPN, I cannot see any way to encrypt a PGSQL database stored on a hard disk, put aside the possibility to encrypt the hosting file system with LoopAES.
Is there any (native/third party) tool for encrypting a PGSQL database on the disk? Is there any PGSQL option for encrypting data on the fly?
Many thanks in advance for your attention.
NOTE: the italian law on privacy ("Decreto Legge 196/03", Dicembre 2003) is available on the net:

Of course, just in italian... ----------------------------------------- Alessandro Bottoni and Silvana Di Martino [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
