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.
The high-level overview of the steps to encrypt data using encryption keys that are
stored locally:
- Use the dse command to create a system key for encryption.
- Next, copy the system key to the other nodes in the cluster.
The location of
the dse.yaml file depends
on the type of installation:
Installer-Services | /etc/dse/dse.yaml |
Package installations | /etc/dse/dse.yaml |
Installer-No Services | install_location/resources/dse/conf/dse.yaml |
Tarball installations | install_location/resources/dse/conf/dse.yaml |
