    <p>If I understand you correctly, you aim for a log that is encrypted by the server. The requests are sent in plain, but you'd like to log something like per-user access statistics or the like and you deem this data to be confidential, so it should be encrypted by the server and also be decrypted by the server, if necessary.</p> <p>If this is the case, it is actually not all too complicated. </p> <ul> <li>Generate an encryption key (AES would be a good choice) that is to be used by the server. </li> <li>You store this key in a file.</li> <li>Make sure that the application and only a few selected people have access to that location. Worst case would be it's served in your public files and anyone could download it from the web. So put it in a folder far away from your public resources :)</li> <li>Encrypt that file using password-based encryption <a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2898" rel="nofollow">e.g. PBKDF2 in RFC 2898</a>.</li> </ul> <p>Then you will realize that you created a hen-egg problem - the file again needs a password for the server to have access to the key stored inside. But here's the trick - you will have to enter the key upon server startup manually, and that's the ephemeral component you need. The password for the file should be out-of-band information (e.g. placed in a physical vault) and nowhere on the computer itself. </p> <p>An alternative (but potentially less secure because the password would be present in some physical form) is to rely on OS-specific "password vaults" such as Windows' <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/3ak841sy.aspx" rel="nofollow">Isolated Storage</a>. </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
