Description

I would like to be able to encrypt the text of pages before writing them to the database, and decrypt for searches or display to the user.
It would be cool if the same function could be applied to the text of tags, categories, articles, or other features, but being able to use it for wiki articles is my main concern.


Update 31 May 2018: I found out how to encrypt entire databases through the MariaDB documentation. https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/encryption-key-management/

With this in mind, I would like to propose a page be created in Tiki documentation that briefly overviews encryption options for Tiki installations (For example, by linking to that MariaDB article if one is using MariaDB). Perhaps a process to automate the commands required to encrypt a database could be added at some future point (?), that users could opt into when installing Tiki?

Workaround
I encrypted my entire database using MariaDB's documentation on database encryption as a guide. https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/encryption-key-management/
