How do you handle data encryption? Or are you not US-based?
You can encrypt the sensitive data, base64-encode the resulting blob and then put that into
a property of a document.
The disadvantage, of course, is that you can’t index or filter based on this data because
view functions can’t read it.
The only alternative I can think of is to encrypt the entire database file, which would probably
involve splicing into CouchDB at a low level to insert a block cipher into the file I/O code.
