Transparent data encryption
DataStax recommends encrypting sensitive configuration properties in the dse.yaml and cassandra.yaml files. |
- About Transparent Data Encryption
-
Protects sensitive at-rest data stored in configuration files and in database tables.
- Configuring local encryption
-
Use locally stored symmetric encryption keys to protect sensitive system resources, configuration file properties and/or database tables.
- Configuring KMIP encryption
-
Protect sensitive data using encryption keys from a remote KMIP (Key Management Interoperability Protocol).
- Encrypting Search indexes
-
DSE Search index encryption shares the setup with SSTable encryption.
- Migrating encrypted tables from earlier versions
-
Encrypted tables require specific actions to migrate to later versions of DataStax Enterprise.
- Bulk loading data between TDE-enabled clusters
-
Bulk loading data between TDE-enabled clusters requires the correct deployment of encryption keys.
