1.5 Storage Data Protection Using Transparent Data Encryption

The encryption of data to be stored in a database is essential under the following encryption requirements of PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard), the data security standard of the credit industry:

To satisfy these requirements, FUJITSU Enterprise Postgres provides a transparent data encryption feature. Note that PostgreSQL uses an encryption feature called pgcrypto, which can also be used in FUJITSU Enterprise Postgres, but requires applications to be modified. Therefore, we recommend using FUJITSU Enterprise Postgres's transparent data encryption feature.


The transparent data encryption feature also allows you to choose an external key management system as the storage location for your encryption keys.

Refer to "Protecting Storage Data Using Transparent Data Encryption" or "Using Transparent Data Encryption with Key Management Systems as Keystores" in the Operation Guide for information about transparent data encryption.
