I think I've made some mind shortcuts and now I see them after reading Your questions.
The thing is that I have to access data stored in the encrypted database/storage because it must be accessible by an application process without any interaction from the user. Data will be decrypted on-demand by background worker using the key which I have to store somewhere and which must be secured somehow and available only for that process.
So far, my idea is flying over solutions like ionCube / Zend Encoder to encrypt/encode/secure the source code of the application or only parts of it to prevent exposing the logic responsible for getting out the data among with keys themselves.

Thank You for the reply!

Can I call it: poor-man encryption? :-)
