Scenario: A company wants to implement encryption for sensitive data stored in their DB2 database. What encryption options are available in DB2, and how can they be configured?

  • Transparent Data Encryption (TDE), which encrypts data at rest without requiring application changes.
  • Application-level encryption using custom encryption algorithms.
  • Encrypting data during transmission using SSL/TLS.
  • Hashing sensitive data before storage.
Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) is a feature in DB2 that encrypts data at rest, providing protection against unauthorized access to sensitive information stored in the database files. It ensures that data remains encrypted even if the physical media is stolen or compromised. Other options mentioned may provide encryption in transit or custom encryption, but TDE specifically addresses data encryption at rest within the DB2 database.
