You can encrypt the sensitive data, base64-encode the resulting blob and then put that into a property of a document. The disadvantage, of course, is that you can’t index or filter based on this data because view functions can’t read it. The only alternative I can think of is to encrypt the entire database file, which would probably involve splicing into CouchDB at a low level to insert a block cipher into the file I/O code. —Jens
