A magic decoder ring, helps.I got mine in a box of lucky charms. =-)

It is pretty easy to implement an encrypted filesystem and use encrypted
transmission protocols ssl/tls, kerberos, etc. nowadays. But given that
you want the administrator to easily be able to decrypt the data, you are
also looking at potential for "hackers" to also easily be able to decrypt
the data thus defeating your own purpose. Is there something specific you
are interested in implementing first?

It is a multi-step, multi-layer process. Pick a starting point. The first
is usually, either network, or server security.
