I've scoured the web and can't seem to find any definitive on how to
secure sensitive information in a DB, postgresQL in particular.

Most suggestions rely upon encrypting the data. This is all fine and
well except for the one nagging question I keep having: how do you
protect the password that is needed to decrypt the data? Maybe I'm
missing something?

Can anyone recommend any good web documents on how to secure sensitive
information?
