Using TDE on MySQL in Windows Server 2008 R2

I was looking around for some solution to bring TDE to MySQL. I found this question asked in here before.

But the question seems to be about enabling a TDE solution to a MySQL database that is installed in a Linux environment.

In my case, I would need a TDE solution for MySQL that is installed in a Windows Server 2008 R2 environment.

I have found NetLib and it seems to be working for me. Question is, are there any other alternatives? Also, is NetLib good?

EDIT:

So now using TrueCrypt with MySQL is possible. But, is there any other alternative to this? One that has been audited perhaps?

Solution

  • MySQL doesn't care what solution you're using as long as you provide it a filesystem that acts like a filesystem. It deals only at the file level. Do understand that performance may be severely impacted, however.
