Add encryption at rest to mongodb
From discord chat The mongo docs say you can only encrypt a freshly created db (not an existing, unencrypted db). @Vyvy-vi have you started working on this yet, &/or have a plan yet? kristofer — 01/31/2022 @graial Encryption is not something we have decided yet to implement. What would be the pros and cons? graial — 01/31/2022 main pro of any encryption at rest for data is that if an attacker got in to the server, theyd have access to the the db/data, with encryption, they wouldnt be able to read/manipulate it encrypting the db was a suggestion vy made on the notion I posted a couple weeks back Main con is that it might be a pain to transfer the existing data over to the new encrpted one
