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