SQLBits 2024
Confidential development with Always Encrypted using enclaves
Developing applications that use Always Encrypted protected databases requires some special attention, such as using parameterized queries and collations. Join us for this session to learn about this game-changing technology. We will demonstrate the main benefits of Always Encrypted with secure enclaves, discuss the best practices for developing your application the right way, and address the latest Always Encrypted investments in Azure SQL.
Always Encrypted is a client-side encryption technology that ensures sensitive data (and related encryption keys) are never revealed to the SQL Server or Azure SQL Database. With Always Encrypted, a client driver transparently encrypts sensitive data before passing the data to the Database Engine, and it transparently decrypts data retrieved from encrypted database columns. Developing applications that use Always Encrypted protected databases requires some special attention, such as using parameterized queries and collations. Join us for this session to learn about this game-changing technology. We will demonstrate the main benefits of Always Encrypted with secure enclaves, discuss the best practices for developing your application the right way, and address the latest Always Encrypted investments in Azure SQL.
