- About Transparent Data Encryption
-
Protects sensitive at-rest data stored in configuration files, database tables and SSTable indexes.
- Configuring local encryption
-
Use locally-stored symmetric encryption keys to protect any or all sensitive system resources, configuration file properties, search indexes, and database tables.
- Configuring KMIP encryption
-
Protect sensitive data using encryption keys from a remote Key Management Interoperability Protocol (
KMIP
). - 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.
