I am aware that this is certainly not an easy topic (see also
http://lists.mysql.com/mysql/101724) I can expect to be solved in the short time, but if
I could say that MySQL DBMS can do that, it certainly is a very good selling argument
when proponing to choose MySQL for a professional project even if those features are not
used in the beginning and perhaps never since the design minimized the need to store
sensitive data altoghether or due to performance reasons...
For the related topic of password security on the windows mysql version, see
