Hi,
I understand TDE is used to encrypt data stored on media. Is there however a possibility to encrypt columns, or whole tables for that matter, in such a manner that Oracle users viewing table data in SQL Developer or alike will only be able to view the scrambled data, whereas the application can operate transparently and use this data without need to encrypt/decrypt?
Thanks in advance for any feedback!
"Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) enables you to encrypt sensitive data, such as
Personally Identifiable Information (PII), that you store in tables and tablespaces.
After the data is encrypted, this data is transparently decrypted for authorized users
or applications when they access this data. TDE helps protect data stored on media
(also called data at rest) in the event that the storage media or data file is stolen.
Oracle Database uses authentication, authorization, and auditing mechanisms to
secure data in the database, but not in the operating system data files where data is
stored. To protect these data files, Oracle Database provides Transparent Data
Encryption (TDE). TDE encrypts sensitive data stored in data files. To prevent
unauthorized decryption, TDE stores the encryption keys in a security module
external to the database, called a keystore."
