What's wrong with using a LoopAES filesystem? It protects against
someone walking off with the server, or at least the hard disk, and
being able to see the data.
Keeping encrypted data in the database itself is also perfectly
possible; you just need to decide what you're going to use to decrypt it
afterwards.
