Encryption of tables and tablespaces was added in MariaDB 10.1.3<\/a>.<\/p>\n Having tables encrypted makes it almost impossible for someone to access or steal a hard disk and get access to the original data. MariaDB got Data-at-Rest Encryption with MariaDB 10.1<\/a>. This functionality is also known as \u00ab\u00a0Transparent Data Encryption<\/strong> (TDE)\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n This assumes that encryption keys are stored on another system.<\/p>\n Using encryption has an overhead of roughly 3-5%<\/em>.<\/p>\n MariaDB encryption is fully supported for the XtraDB and InnoDB<\/a> storage engines. Encryption is also supported for the Aria storage engine, but only for tables created with MariaDB allows the user to configure flexibly what to encrypt. In XtraDB or InnoDB, one can choose to encrypt:<\/p>\n Additionally, one can choose to encrypt XtraDB\/InnoDB log files (recommended).<\/p>\n MariaDB’s data-at-rest encryption requires the use of a key management and encryption plugin<\/a>. These plugins are responsible both for the management of encryption keys and for the actual encryption and decryption of data.<\/p>\n MariaDB supports the use of multiple encryption keys<\/a>. Each encryption key uses a 32-bit integer as a key identifier. If the specific plugin supports key rotation<\/a>, then encryption keys can also be rotated, which creates a new version of the encryption key.<\/p>\n How MariaDB manages encryption keys depends on which encryption key management solution you choose. Currently, MariaDB has three options:<\/p>\n The File Key Management plugin that ships with MariaDB is a basic key management and encryption plugin that reads keys from a plain-text file. It can also serve as example and as a starting point when developing a key management plugin.<\/p>\n For more information, see File Key Management Plugin<\/a>.<\/p>\n The AWS Key Management plugin is a key management and encryption plugin that uses the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Key Management Service (KMS). The AWS Key Management plugin depends on the AWS SDK for C++<\/a>, which uses the Apache License, Version 2.0<\/a>. This license is not compatible with MariaDB Server’s GPL 2.0 license<\/a>, so we are not able to distribute packages that contain the AWS Key Management plugin. Therefore, the only way to currently obtain the plugin is to install it from source.<\/p>\n For more information, see AWS Key Management Plugin<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Eperi Key Management plugin is a key management and encryption plugin that uses the eperi Gateway for Databases<\/a>. The eperi Gateway for Databases<\/a> stores encryption keys on the key server outside of the database server itself, which provides an extra level of security. The eperi Gateway for Databases<\/a> also supports performing all data encryption operations on the key server as well, but this is optional.<\/p>\n For more information, see Eperi Key Management Plugin<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The File Key Management plugin that ships with MariaDB is a key management and encryption plugin<\/a> that reads encryption keys from a plain-text file.<\/p>\n The File Key Management plugin is the easiest key management and encryption plugin<\/a> to set up for users who want to use data-at-rest encryption<\/a>. Some of the plugin’s primary features are:<\/p>\n It can also serve as an example and as a starting point when developing a key management and encryption plugin with the encryption plugin API<\/a>.<\/p>\n The File Key Management plugin is included in MariaDB packages as the Although the plugin’s shared library is distributed with MariaDB by default, the plugin is not actually installed by MariaDB by default. The plugin can be installed by providing the <\/p>\n In order to encrypt your tables with encryption keys using the File Key Management plugin, you first need to create the file that contains the encryption keys. The file needs to contain two pieces of information for each encryption key. First, each encryption key needs to be identified with a 32-bit integer as the key identifier. Second, the encryption key itself needs to be provided in hex-encoded form. These two pieces of information need to be separated by a semicolon.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The key file still needs to have a key identifier for each encryption key added to the beginning of each line. Key identifiers do not need to be contiguous. Open the new key file in your preferred text editor and add the key identifiers. For example, the key file would look something like the following after this step:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Note that the <\/p>\n The File Key Management plugin currently supports two encryption algorithms for encrypting data: The recommended algorithm is see also https:\/\/severalnines.com\/blog\/exploring-different-ways-encrypt-your-mariadb-data<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Data-at-Rest Encryption Overview Source\u00a0 : https:\/\/mariadb.com\/kb\/en\/file-key-management-encryption-plugin\/ Encryption of tables and tablespaces was added in MariaDB 10.1.3.
