Without this ability, I will probably have to create an RMI server on the
Firebird machine and restrict all the JDBC calls to this server. Then the RMI
clients will have to create proxy statements and send those over to
the Proxy RMI Server where the actual JDBC calls occurr. It's pretty
easy to use JSSE between RMI clients and servers. But, yeesh, that's a lot of
work to go through to just get a secure channel between the database and its
clients.

Unfortunately I believe that to be the case. I am aware of some tools
that you can use with C/C++, and other languages to do secure tunneling
and encryption. I am not aware of any having the ability to work with
Java or JayBird?
This is a feature I would like to see, but do not see a way to implement
it without going the old InterClient way of having one part on the
server, and the other part client side.
Since Firebird does not have any sort of built in encryption for data
being sent to and from the db.
If I am incorrect, someone please set me straight. I would very much
like to use encryption with my Java apps without having to use a middle
tier app.
