Data Protection

TaurusDB provides a series of methods and features for data security and reliability.

**Table 1** Methods for data security
Method	Description
Transmission encryption (HTTPS)	HTTP and HTTPS are both supported, but HTTPS is recommended for enhanced security.
Data backup	You can back up and restore databases to ensure data reliability.
Backup encryption	After encrypted backup is enabled, a key is required, which is generated and managed by Data Encryption Workshop (DEW).
Transparent Data Encryption (TDE)	TDE performs real-time I/O encryption and decryption on data files. Data is encrypted before being written to disks and is decrypted when being read from disks to memory. This effectively protects databases and data files.
Critical operation protection	With this function enabled, the system authenticates a user's identity when they perform any risky operations like deleting an instance. This enhances the protection for your data and configuration.
SSL	You can use SSL to encrypt the connection between TaurusDB and the client. It provides privacy, authentication, and integrity to Internet communications.
