Hmm - You could place the files on an encrypted filesystem, but encryption / decryption costs much time! I don't think, that you really want to do this. Normaly I would say: Build up a server and protect everything, so that nobody has access. (So only run really needed services with a minimum of access! Protect it physically, so that nobody could get the computer itself or gain direct access.) One way could also be, to encrypt only fields, that has important data. Then you can find datasets fast and your application must decrypt it (That would be much faster, because all clients togeteher have much more power than one server and the server is free for the things, that it must do!)
