This article provides an overview of automating Microsoft SQL Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) using Fortanix-Data-Security-Manager (DSM). The automation script integrates Fortanix DSM with SQL Server, enabling TDE and setting up cryptographic providers for key management.
For the detailed steps and scripts, refer to the README available in the GitHub repository.
Fortanix Data Security Manager (DSM) is the world’s first cloud service secured with Intel® SGX. With Fortanix DSM, you can securely generate, store, and use cryptographic keys and certificates, as well as other secrets such as passwords, API keys, tokens, or any blob of data. Your business-critical applications and containers can integrate with Fortanix DSM using legacy cryptographic interfaces (PKCS#11, CNG, and JCE) or using the native Fortanix DSM RESTful interface.
