Encrypting data

DataStax Enterprise supports encryption for in-flight data and at-rest data.

DataStax Enterprise supports encryption for in-flight data (node-to-node and client-to-node) and at-rest data.

  • DSE Analytics
    • Spark SSL encryption with SSL.
    • Securing Spark
  • DSE Search
    • Securing DSE Search
    • DSE Search encryption, including encrypting DSE Search indexes
  • Configuring encryption
    Steps to configure DataStax Enterprise encryption for in-flight data and at-rest data.
  • About Transparent Data Encryption
    Protects sensitive at-rest data stored in configuration files and in database tables.
  • Encrypting sensitive property values
    Encrypting sensitive properties in the dse.yaml and cassandra.yaml configuration files.
  • Configuring encryption per table (TDE)
    Configure transparent data encryption (TDE) on a per table basis. You can configure encryption with or without compression.
  • Client-to-node encryption using SSL
    Client-to-node encryption protects data in flight from client machines to a database cluster using SSL. It establishes a secure channel between the client and the coordinator node.
  • Node-to-node encryption using SSL
    Node-to-node (internode) encryption protects data that is transferred between nodes in a cluster using SSL.
  • Setting up SSL for nodetool, dsetool, and dse advrep
    Using nodetool, dsetool, and dse advrep with SSL encryption.
  • Preparing server certificates for SSL encryption
    All nodes require relevant SSL certificates. Steps to generate SSL certificates for client-to-node encryptions or node-to-node encryption.
  • Spark SSL encryption with SSL
    Communication between Spark clients and clusters as well as communication between Spark nodes can be encrypted using SSL.
  • DSE Search encryption
    DSE Search index encryption shares the setup with Cassandra SSTable encryption.
  • Encrypting using local encryption keys
    To encrypt data using encryption keys that are stored locally, use the dse command to create a system key for encryption.
  • Encrypting using off-server encryption keys
    Configure KMIP (Key Management Interoperability Protocol) encryption to use encryption keys that are stored on another server.
  • Rekeying existing data
    Create a new local encryption key, change the table key filename, and re-encrypt the SSTables using the new key.
  • Migrating encrypted tables from earlier versions
    Encrypted tables require specific actions to migrate to later versions of DataStax Enterprise.
