Maintaining the data encryption key

Revisit how an already TDE-enabled cluster's data encryption key is protected: add protection you skipped at creation time, or rotate the key or passphrase currently in use.

  • Protecting an existing key shows how to add a protection mechanism to a key that was left unprotected when the cluster was created.

  • Rotating the key shows how to change the passphrase or key-store wrapping key currently protecting your data encryption key.

If you're choosing a protection mechanism for a new cluster instead, see Choosing a key protection mechanism.
