Re: TDE in PostgreSQL

hi …

actually we are trying to push encryption into core …
so far there is no success.
our stuff is working and we use it at many clients already without any issues.
you can download a TDE enabled version of postgres from our website for free:
https://www.cybertec-postgresql.com/en/products/postgresql-transparent-data-encryption/ <https://www.cybertec-postgresql.com/en/products/postgresql-transparent-data-encryption/>

just ask me directly (hs@cybertec.at <mailto:hs@cybertec.at>) if you got any questions.

	many thanks,

		hans
