Encrypting Data
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.
