Hi,
I have a situation where some sensitive information need to be stored in a
database, eg salary, medical info, etc.
the data are only meant for the particular employees.
however, the root user will have all the power to retrieve both the key
(stored somewhere either in a file, or php scripts, or db), and the database
too, hence can (not necessary will) read the sensitivie information.
is there any techniques, or products to be used to solve this problem?
thanks.
