You can use an encrypted partition for the cache's directory (Depending on your OS read these):
(Linux Local) http://koeln.ccc.de/archiv/drt/crypto/linux-disk.html
(DOS/Windows)http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/sfs/
(Linux Network) http://www.fs.net/sfswww/

Hi,
Is it possible to encrypt data stored in the cache of a Web Server or
Application server?

We'd like to use caching for performance reasons, but don't want
secure data to be viewable if the server is compromised.

What is the best way to do this?

Thanx,
ys
