Data encryption in application cluster
问题 I have a web application accessed over SSL. To beef up security on the back end we are looking at adding in symmetric encryption for the database. The application is spread across 6 servers in a websphere cluster. We were looking at a simple model of generating a common key, propagating the key across all clones in an isolated JCEKS keystore. Settled on AES (256) for the cipher and key length. Question I have is how safe is this approach? My fear is we create all of this and encrypt the data,
