IBM Database Encryption Expert support for IDS:

The latest fixpack (1.1.3) introduces support for Informix 11.10FC2 and 11.50.
This means transparent data encryption without root access...

if you look past the marketing blurb, more smoke than mirrors.
Without encryption hardware, you're going to take a huge performance hit if you're encrypting a column that you index.

And why would you need root access for encryption?
