Features and benefits
Online data encryption capabilities:
Protects sensitive DB2 and IDS data without requiring changes to the database schema or database applications
Provides a method for creating a centralized encryption and key management policy
Protects sensitive data from outside of DB2 and IDS through the implementation of privileged userids
Minimal performance impact especially compared to alternative encryption techniques
Protects database table containers and any other sensitive DB2 and IDS files
Provides access control to DB2 and IDS files by user and application
Offline data encryption capabilities:
Protects DB2 and IDS database backups by using offline encryption technology
Compresses database backups to save storage space
Ensures privacy and enables compliance
Encrypts at high speeds
Provides centralized policy and key management
Utilizes policies that control which keys are used
Audits key usage
Offline data encryption benefits:
Transparently interoperates with DB2 backup and IDS ontape/onbar
Requires no changes to current backup/recovery processes
Provides centralized policy and key administration
Includes automatic key management
Performs high-performance encryption and compression
Allows the administrator to control which archives are encrypted
Performs standard AES 128/256 encryption
Audits and tracks encryption key usage
Securely exchanges encrypted archives with affiliates without divulging internal keys
