Encrypting Data

From InterBase

Go Up to Using isql to Enable and Implement Encryption


As indicated at the beginning of this chapter, InterBase can be used to encrypt data at the database-level, and to encrypt specific columns in a database. Generally speaking, encrypting at the column-level offers the greatest data protection. When you encrypt at the database- or column-level, you must also encrypt the backup files of the database. For instructions on how to do so, see Encrypting Backup Files.
