MariaDB Enterprise Server - Data-at-Rest Encryption

Data-at-rest encryption secures data on the file system.

Overview

MariaDB Enterprise Server and MariaDB Community Server support data-at-rest encryption, which secures data on the file system. The server and storage engines encrypt data before writing and decrypt it during reads, ensuring that the data is only unencrypted when accessed directly through the server.
