Re: [EXTERNAL] Is Apache Cassandra supports Data at rest

[Jonathan Haddad]

Just because Cassandra doesn't do it doesn't mean you aren't able to
encrypt your data at rest, and you definitely don't need DSE to do it.  I
recommend checking out the LUKS project.

https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup/blob/master/README.md

This, IMO, is a better option than having the database do it since with
this you are able to encrypt everything.  Your logs, indexes, etc.

I wrote a blog post a while ago on the pros and cons of encrypting in your
application for use with Cassandra that you might find useful background on
this subject:

RE: [EXTERNAL] Is Apache Cassandra supports Data at rest

[Durity, Sean R]

I think you are asking about *encryption* at rest. To my knowledge, open source 
Cassandra does not support this natively. There are options, like encrypting 
the data in the application before it gets to Cassandra. Some companies offer 
other solutions. IMO, if you need the increased security, it is worth using 
something like DataStax Enterprise.

Hi,
Does Apache Cassandra supports data at rest, because datastax Cassandra 
supports it. Can anybody help me.

Thanks and Regards,
Goutham.
