You hijacked someone else's thread, which was about wire compression,
not passwords.

Not true. Full instructions are in Chapter 12. You are looking at a
completely new authentication system in Firebird 3.

Easy, but different. You need to get your head around the new method.

One method of password encryption is enabled by default in Fb 3. That
one is simple - read the notes in Ch. 12 for instructions to get
started with it.

Database encryption requires writing plug-ins, either from scratch or to
interface with an existing DATA encryption scheme. Fb 3 does not come with
any ready-made scheme - just the sockets for the plug-ins. It is over
to third-party developers to develop and market such things. It is
NOT a "simple question" at all.

I know that Dmitry Sibiryakov is actively working on an
encryption/decryption scheme. I have not heard of any others, so far.
