Does Community Edition provide free Encryption of Data with Meta Data?

Hi, I'm a doctor and want to create a Program to save Patients records, I currently use SQLite3 which is fully encrypted in my current program, I want to go to MariaDB, a more robust and multi user solution. Please Can I encrypt whole the Database Files (Data WITH Meta Data) in Community edition of MariaDB Server? If so, How I can do that? and dose it comes out of the Box or it cost me? Thanks and Regards.

See Data-at-Rest Encryption Overview.

"Only data and only at rest is encrypted. Metadata (for example .frm files) and data sent to the client are not encrypted (but see Secure Connections). "
