Database encryption |
If you are backing up on-premises Oracle Database to Recovery Service, then the TDE wallet must be setup and open irrespective of whether TDE is configured for the database. If pluggable databases (PDBs) use local TDE wallets, then the local TDE wallets must be open. This is required for encrypting backups to Recovery Service. For more information, refer to these sections in the
Transparent Data Encryption Guide:
Caution: Oracle strongly recommends to use an external key management system, such as Oracle Key Vault. Storing the decryption keys on the same server as the encrypted data allows database server attacks to potentially gain access to the keys and the database. Encrypted backups cannot be recovered if the keys are compromised or stolen. |
