Description

The preview of infrastructure double encryption for Azure Database for PostgreSQL-single server is now available. Infrastructure double encryption adds a second layer of encryption using a FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic module and a different encryption algorithm which gives an additional layer of protection for your data at rest. The key used in Infrastructure Double encryption is also managed by this service. This feature is not turned on by default as it will have performance impact due to the additional layer of encryption.
