Summary :
This SAP Note covers the integration of Oracle Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) with SAP systems, ensuring sensitive SAP application data is stored securely in encrypted form within Oracle databases. Focusing on Oracle Database versions 10.2 and 11.2, it highlights the dual capabilities of column and tablespace encryption from these releases. Key aspects include the automated encryption process, management of encryption keys within the database, and the use of Encryption Wallets for security management. The note discusses the revised chapter on shared Oracle Homes and introduces a new section on Wallet protection. It also elaborates on TDE’s inability to protect against authorized SQL interface access and provides comprehensive guidance on setting up and managing TDE configurations in SAP environments.
