* contrib/pgcrypto contains many encryption functions for use in SQL
queries.
* The only way to encrypt transmission from the client to the server
is by using hostssl in pg_hba.conf.
* To encrypt transmission from the client to the server, the server
must have the ssl option set to true in postgresql.conf, and an
applicable host or hostssl record must exist in pg_hba.conf, and
the client sslmode must not be disable. (Note that it is also
possible to use a third-party encrypted transport, such as stunnel
or ssh, rather than PostgreSQL's native SSL connections.)
* Database user passwords are automatically encrypted when stored in
version 7.3. In previous versions, you must enable the option
PASSWORD_ENCRYPTION in postgresql.conf.
