CipherTrust Database Protection for Teradata VantageCloud Lake (CDP-TVCL) is a data protection solution for the Teradata VantageCloud Lake.
Teradata VantageCloud Lake provides a cloud-native data lake solution using object storage and supports an elastic workload.
A Teradata database consists of a Parsing Engine (PE) and any number of Access Module Processors (AMPs) that exist on nodes. Nodes are servers that can host multiple virtual AMPs (VAMPs) and, optionally, the Parsing Engine itself.
Below is the CDP-TVCL deployment diagram:
A Teradata site consists of one or more nodes. Each Teradata site requires a Key Manager, for example, the CipherTrust Manager (CM).
The following User Defined Functions (UDFs) must be installed in the Teradata database:
protect_string
Protects a string provided in the Unicode format.
reveal_string
Reveals a string (protected by protect_string) in the Unicode format.
Note
Each Teradata node requires a connection to the Key Manager, for example, the CipherTrust Manager (CM).
