Re^2: DBD::mysql to MariaDB with at rest encryptionby gwhite (Friar) |
on Mar 24, 2016 at 08:41 UTC ( [id://1158698]=note: print w/replies, xml ) | Need Help?? |
DBD::mysql connects to MariaDB perfectly, I don't need an SSL connection (got that already). We want the data in the database encrypted. Which creates all kinds of issues when trying to retrieve data, run sorts and selects if you have to do it on a field by field basis. The mariaDB 10.1 release has the feature of encrypted at rest. So if someone got the actual DB file, it would be encrypted, but with the right key solution, the data becomes unencrypted and you can do all the normal DB things you want to do without dealing with encrypted fields.
The easiest comparison is that of a password protected zip file, without the password, the zip is useless with the password, internally you have files/folder structure just like an OS. MariaDB was created as a true open source option to mysql now that Oracle has acquired the rights to mysql. It is much faster and is starting to get more of these very nice to have features, but all the mysql GUI and utilities still work with it.
