Если вы когда-нибудь выкатывали фичу, которая хранит персональные данные - почтовые адреса, заметки в свободной форме, API-токены, идентификационные номера - у вас наверняка возникала та же неприятная мысль: врядли стоит доверять базе данных. Бэкапы копируются на ноутбуки. Снапшоты оседают на файловых ресурсах. Галочка “encryption at rest” в облачной консоли защищает только от одного конкретного вида кражи - от того, что кто-то унесет диск.Зашифровать данные до того, как они попадут в... Read more ›

Jarczak said in a note on... Read more ›
