I have to say that this is becoming an important problem in the European
market. In Italy for example the law impose that if you store personal
data about your customers then this information shall be stored in an
encrypted form. The bast way I found to accomplish this is using an
encrypted file system. Google for "cryptoloop" or if you are brave enough
look for StegFS.
