Everybody who is able to use Google can know about that.
Just type "encryption plugin firebird 3" and click the search button.

There is an example of a crypt plugin in every FB 3 installation. You
can use it as a base to create your own encryption plugin. Or you can
buy IBSurgeon's encryption plugin, ready to be used.

The best solution for one may not be the best for other. If your
currently scheme is working well for you, why do you want to change?

The plugin is only part of the solution. The most complex thing is how
to deal/store the encryption key. You can have the best encryption
algorithm, but if a hacker get access to your plugin and to your crypt
key, it will be useless.

Why do you think so? :)

[firebird-support] Encryption on FB3

[fabia...@itbizolutions.com.au [firebird-support]]

Hi Guys

We are considering encrypting the DB, we are on FB 3 on top of Windows 2012 
R2 64 bits, the options we have are:

1) Do what we did with FB2, that is encrypt the DB folder with the same user 
account as the firebird service was running on, and nevel login with that 
user. That is an OS file encryption, and it worked very well for us.

2) Use the new FB 3 encrytion, we do not have any idea how to, is there any 
document we can read to start testing?

3) Use TrueCrypt on the hole drive , or something similar, placing the 
encryption at the OS level.

What would be better? Anybody already tried and would like to share ?

Alternativelly we can wait for FB4, where I believe encryption will be 
"easier" to configure, am I right?

Cheers
Fabian
