Tips and Best Practices

  • TLSv1.2 must be used for communication with Key Manager and database.

  • In cases where Java environment available with database do not support TLSv1.2 for establishing secure communication, then enable only the strongest possible SSL Ciphers on the Key manager to use TLSv1.2.

  • It is recommended that input data should have minimum two characters when using FPE encryption in remote mode.

  • It is recommended to use keys with stronger ciphers, such as AES.

  • It is recommended to apply IVs at the column-level.

  • It is recommended to use the Delete Old Data button after performing crypto operations.

  • Thales strongly discourages from manually modifying any of the metadata tables associated with CDP.

  • It is recommended to use CBC mode in case of standard encryption.

  • It is recommended not to use global keys for encryption/decryption.

  • User specified passwords, such as Client_Cert_Passphrase and Key_Store_Password should not be used as cryptographic keys.

  • It is recommended to obfuscate any password before using it.
