I'm by no means a Linux / Unix guru but I think several of you are, so I thought I'd ask the forum.  Are any of you guys out there using file level encryption on Xnix boxes?  I'm looking at strategies for protecting intellectual property and one problem that is very difficult to get around is theft of the property by someone who is authorized to use it.  Microsoft has a product that does something like
 
file is encrypted --> you request read of file --> server contacts license server to make sure you have security access to key --> key is passed and file unencrypted --> you open file
 
If anyone is aware of anything similar for Unix / Linux I'm all ears.
 
Thanks,
