Save the Elephants - Secure Your PostgreSQL Databases with TDE
summary
Percona releases an open source PostgreSQL extension called pgde that implements TDE to encrypt data at rest, aims for minimal core impact and regulatory compliance, and lives on GitHub for testing and feedback. The project is seeking real‑world adoption to justify core inclusion and already offers an index encryption beta. Cited motivations include a 742% spike in supply‑chain attacks, 245,000 malicious packages in 2023, and one in eight open‑source downloads posing known risks.
