Hello All,

I would like to submit following feature request for Postgres:

1. Transparent Data Encryption: The column which needs to be stored in encrypted form can be specified through DDL. The encryption key can be stored in a secure file accessible through a pass phrase. That particular column would apper in encrypted form for all users except the users specified through a grant to see the data in decrypted form.

I would like to hook-up with people who are working in the postgres security area to refine the feature detail and work on its implementation.

Please guide me how to go about it.
