Thread: Using pgcrypt to meet PCI compliance?

Using pgcrypt to meet PCI compliance?

From

Date:
I have a a postgres database implementation that needs to be enhanced to 
meet PCI compliance for encrypting sensitive data inside the database. 
I'm looking at dm-crypt to encrypt my filesystems to prevent against 
theft of hardware, but we also have a requirement to encrypt a few 
important fields in a few tables in order to prevent against sql 
injection/exposure attacks.

I'm wondering if anyone on the list has any *specific* experience with 
the pgcrypto and the key management required in order to meet pci 
compliance for encrypting data within a postgres db.

Thanks!
