Encrypted PostgreSQL

Need to store or access your PostgreSQL data with extra confidentiality? This talk will look at the options available for data and transport encryption in PostgreSQL.

This talk will go into how to design and deploy encrypted solutions using PostgreSQL. It will cover setting up and using transport encryption options (using SSL/TLS or outside solutions), as well as well as the advanced cryptography functions available inside the database itself (using the pgcrypto module). We'll both look at the theoretical side and specific examples of how and when to use the different methods.
