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.
