IBM DB2 V10.5 LUW Security Technical Implementation Guide
Title
DB2 must implement cryptographic mechanisms to prevent unauthorized modification of organization-defined information at rest (to include, at a minimum, PII and classified information) on organization-defined information system components.
Description
<VulnDiscussion>DBMSs handling data requiring "data at rest" protections must employ cryptographic mechanisms to prevent unauthorized disclosure and modification of the information at rest. These cryptographic mechanisms may be native to the DBMS or implemented via additional software or operating system/file system settings, as appropriate to the situation. Selection of a cryptographic mechanism is based on the need to protect the integrity of organizational information. The strength of the me...

To create the database using DB2 native encryption run the following command: $db2 create db <database name> encrypt See the detailed instructions in the link in the note section below to create the encrypted database. Note: Select the following link for details on how to set up DB2 native encryption: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPGG_10.5.0/com.ibm.db2.luw.admin.sec.doc/doc/t0061766.html?lang=en If a third-party tool is used for database encryption (IBM highly recommends using IBM Guardium) use the third-party tool's specific check and fix.
