A Technical Overview of Baffle Hold Your Own Key (HYOK) and Record Level Encryption (RLE)
For organizations looking to address data privacy and security concerns over data in a shared data environment, Baffle DPS offers an HYOK and row level encryption capability that can simplify implementation and management of customer-owned keys and crypto operations.
Many companies do not want to spend the resources or acquire the domain knowledge to build such solutions in-house. And as environments grow and scale, relying on a common architectural service layer allows new applications and enhancements to leverage the same common service instead of embedding it time and again in each application component.
This paper provides a technical overview of Baffle’s HYOK implementation and how it can be applied to provide RLE in multitenant or shared data stores.
