Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but all I see are patents and research
projects ongoing at IBM.  That tells me that nobody has solved this
problem sufficiently.  When you use a block cipher on billions of
blocks, there is no way to rekey the database without decrypting and
re-encrypting all those blocks. If you've solved it, why don't you go
talk to IBM or Sun - they'd be very interested to hear how to quickly
rekey a block-encrypted file spanning multiple terabytes. There might be
some money in it for you.
