Could you not accomplish much of this using OpenSSL toolkit and Loopback encrypted filesystem under Linux? There are port monitoring / firewalling systems which can determine access easily enough as well. As already said, going about it this way allows us to leverage existing work easily, eg hardware accel is available off-the-shelf, it's already well tested, etc. Perhaps a SAP DB Security HowTo is in order... _______________________________________________ sapdb.general mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.sap.com/mailman/listinfo/sapdb.general
