Privacera Encryption Installation¶

Privacera Encryption provides centralized, policy-based encryption and vaultless tokenization for structured and semi-structured data. For more detailed information, please refer to the Privacera Encryption User Guide.

Privacera Encryption has two main components: the PEG Server and the Scheme Server.

• The Scheme Server manages encryption schemes, including system and custom schemes. It provides a REST API for managing encryption schemes and policies. The Scheme Server is deployed as a standalone service and can be accessed by the PEG Server and other components of the Privacera platform.

• The PEG Server (Privacera Encryption Gateway) processes remote encryption/decryption requests. It communicates with the Scheme Server to retrieve the encryption schemes and policies required for encryption and decryption operations. The PEG Server is deployed as a standalone service and can be accessed by various data sources, including databases, data lakes, and cloud storage.

For an architecture overview and flow diagram, see PEG Overview - Architecture Overview.

This section and the following sections describe how to install and configure the PEG Server and Scheme Server.
