Create a Database: Encrypted
-
Encrypted databases in RavenDB use Daniel J. Bernstein's XChaCha20-Poly1305 authenticated encryption algorithm. They are encrypted at rest and by default, also in transit.
-
Encryption is possible only if security authentication is enabled and a server certificate is defined.
