Beware that any process to encrypt/decrypt is open to abuse if someone can read the script and work out where the password/key is stored and can read that. There are various ways to encrypt data, but the tough part is having a decryption process that is not decipherable.

For example, you could make a file difficult to read by compressing it and using a non-obvious file name, however anyone reading your decryption process would spot it is a simple decompression and be able to read your data.


If ETL stands for Extract, Transform, Load as three database functions, you need to say what tools you are using in each of the stages and where the data will be stored at each point. Are you transferring data from one server to another perhaps?
