Mysql

Is there any way that ALL data stored in mysql from php can be encrypted? I can't seem to find much information on this subject. Is this done with a php extension or can mysql do it itself?

Take a look at that.


Note that encrypting *everything* will add significant overhead.

Thanks i took a look at the site but its only describing the functions and how it works. Does this mean the actual application i use must support this? I'm still not 100% on this.

Sort of. You'll have to include the function for any INSERT, UPDATE, SELECT functions. So, you would have to rewrite each of those calls in your code (I'm assuming that it's something you built). Then there's also the question about where exactly to store the reversable keys.
