I was looking around for some solution to bring TDE to MySQL. I found this question asked in here before.

But the question seems to be about enabling a TDE solution to a MySQL database that is installed in a Linux environment.

In my case, I would need a TDE solution for MySQL that is installed in a Windows Server 2008 R2 environment.

I have found NetLib and it seems to be working for me. Question is, are there any other alternatives? Also, is NetLib good?

EDIT:

So now using TrueCrypt with MySQL is possible. But, is there any other alternative to this? One that has been audited perhaps?

  • If NetLib Encryptionizer is working for you may I ask why you are still looking? Are you running into any problems? If so, please submit a support request at [www.netlib.com/support/](http://www.netlib.com/support/) – Neil Weicher Jun 28 '16 at 15:20

MySQL doesn't care what solution you're using as long as you provide it a filesystem that acts like a filesystem. It deals only at the file level. Do understand that performance may be severely impacted, however.

  • So what you're saying is that if I want to implement this on a MySQL that installed on a Windows environment is to make MySQL point to a Linux machine with eCryptfs in it? – Shabutie Feb 06 '14 at 09:47
  • What? No. eCryptfs encrypts the filesystem on Linux. There are plenty of transparent full disk encryption solutions for Windows, such as TrueCrypt. Get one of those working in a way you're happy with, then install MySQL as normal and configure it to use that filesystem.
