It'd be helpful to know in more detail what you want to encrypt and decrypt, and how. Getting crypto right is about a lot more than using good algorithms and good implementations.

2. Any manual to follow the steps ?

You'll want the pgycrypto contrib module. Its documentation is here:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/pgcrypto.html#AEN124147

... and I think (but am not certain) that it's available on Windows. Note that according to the documentation pgcrypto does not support signing - or presumably for verifying signatures.

You will also want GnuPG from http://www.gnupg.org/ to use it for key management and key generation.
