I have a a postgres database implementation that needs to be enhanced to
meet PCI compliance for encrypting sensitive data inside the database.
I'm looking at dm-crypt to encrypt my filesystems to prevent against
theft of hardware, but we also have a requirement to encrypt a few
important fields in a few tables in order to prevent against sql
injection/exposure attacks.

I'm wondering if anyone on the list has any *specific* experience with
the pgcrypto and the key management required in order to meet pci
compliance for encrypting data within a postgres db.

Thanks!
