Table and tablespace encryption on MariaDB 10.1.3

Note that this post is now outdated. See Table and tablespace encryption on MariaDB 10.1

Introduction

For the moment, the only engines that fully support encryption are XtraDB and InnoDB. The Aria storage engine also supports encryption, but only for temporary tables.

MariaDB supports 2 different way to encrypt data in InnoDB/XtraDB:

  2. Tablespace encryption: Everything is encrypted (including log files). This feature was created by Google and is based on their MySQL branch.

See earlier blog for more detailed description on eventual consistency https://blog.mariadb.org/eventually-consistent-databases-state-of-the-art/.

When a transaction performs a read operation followed later by a write operation, even on different object, the first read is said to be causally ordered before the write. …
