Oracle Database TDE (19c)
This document provides information about configuring Futurex HSMs with Oracle Database 19c Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) using Futurex PKCS #11 libraries. For additional questions related to your HSM, see the Vectera Plus user guide.
From the Oracle documentation website: “Transparent data encryption enables you to encrypt sensitive data, such as credit card numbers, stored in table columns. Encrypted data is transparently decrypted for a database user who has access to the data. Transparent data encryption helps protect data stored on media in the event that the storage media or data file gets stolen.”
The Guardian Series 3 introduces mission-critical viability to core cryptographic infrastructure, including:
- Centralization of device management
- Elimination of points of failure
- Distribution of transaction loads
- Group-specific function blocking
- User-defined grouping systems
Please see the applicable guide in the Futurex Portal, which covers configuring HSMs for PKCS #11 integrations by using the Guardian Series 3.
