pg_vault_tde v1.7.1 : Transparent Data Encryption for PostgreSQL 17 and 18

pg_vault_tde provides Transparent Data Encryption for PostgreSQL 17 and 18. A table access method, encrypted_heap, encrypts every tuple with AES-256-GCM before it reaches the storage manager and decrypts it after it leaves, so applications require no changes. Keys are held outside the database: HashiCorp Vault or OpenBao through the Transit engine, a PKCS#11 token or HSM, or a local PKCS#12 wallet. Data encryption keys are per table and can be rotated online. Requirements are PostgreSQL 17 or 18

That seemed efficient at the time, but large deployments can contain hundreds of thousands of
