The encryption key can be stored in a secure file accessible through a pass phrase. That particular column would apper in encrypted form for all users except the users specified through a grant to see the data in decrypted form. Exactly what threat do you see this protecting against, that wouldn't be better solved by SQL-standard features like column-level access permissions? regards, tom lane
