Data encryption performs two purposes: it protects data against internal prying eyes, and it protects data against external threats (hacking, theft of backup tapes, etc.) Encryption in the database ...

That’s where column-level encryption pays off to provide end-to-end encryption. With TDE, each data page is encrypted when written to disk and is decrypted when read from disk.

Database encryption protects sensitive information by scrambling the data when it's stored, or as it has become popular to say, "is at rest." ...

Starting with SQL Server 2005, Microsoft allowed us to use column-level encryption natively within the database engine.

But neither the data nor the column encryption keys are exposed in plaintext outside of the secure enclave. When you deploy an Azure SQL Database running Always Encrypted with Secure Enclaves, you get ...

Protegrity Inc. is rolling out security packages for leading databases that combine software with cryptographic hardware to provide enhanced key management capabilities.

So I propose a regulation that any company or government agency with a database containing more than 10,000 names be required to encrypt all stored data. If that’s inconvenient, boo-hoo.

MS researchers claim to crack encrypted database with old simple trick CryptDB developer says researchers were using database in way no one else would.
