hi …
actually we are trying to push encryption into core …
so far there is no success.
our stuff is working and we use it at many clients already without any issues.
you can download a TDE enabled version of postgres from our website for free:
many thanks,
hans
Hello, very hard to find some information about TDE ( Transparent Data
Encryption ) in PostgreSQL. Could you answer my question?
1) Do PostgreSQL supported TDE ( Transparent Data Encryption )?
No, which explain why informations are hard to come:-)
This is not a bug, but the absence of a feature.
Note that encryption can occur at many levels, which level is relevant depends on the threat model:
1. the app can encrypt data in tables
2. the database can encrypt its files
3. the os can encrypt a partition
4. the disks can encrypt their data
1. can be done with a pg extension (ISTM that several exist). 3. depends on the OS (data at rest encryption), 4 depends on the hardware. Some people are working on implementing some form of (2).
