MariaDB Database Encryption with Fortanix SDKMS - SolutionBrief
Providing transparent data encryption at scale, with high usability and low TCO has been a challenge with legacy databases, and still remains a challenge with the new modern databases. Reason being: Key management and HSM solutions were not designed to meet the scale and performance of large-scale deployments of databases. And they did not change or evolve in many years.
Following MariaDB’s best practices, Fortanix created a plugin that integrates with SDKMS to generate and manage the AES keys required to encrypt the data on MariaDB. The plugin generates and manages the encryption keys and carries out the actual encryption and decryption of the data.
In this Solution Brief, you will learn:
- Need for SDKMS
- Benefits
- Possible Integrations
