Does there happen to be a Postgresql proxy, such as a modified pgbouncer, that implements column-wise and/or row-wise
encryptionand decryption using keys specific to the authenticated user? It seems like a reasonable way to implement an
encryptionlayer that would provide protection against a number of threats without requiring modification to the higher
layersof the application or to the Postgresql server.
