Do you use at-rest database encryption for data?

Data is encrypted at rest at 2 levels:

Production Database Encryption

Disk encryption

Service instances and the underlying VMs use full volume encryption using LUKS with a randomly generated ephemeral key per each instance and each volume. The key is never re-used and will be trashed at the destruction of the instance, so there’s a natural key rotation with roll-forward upgrades. We use the LUKS default mode aes-xts-plain64:sha256 with a 512-bit key.

Database encryption

Within our database, we do encrypt sensitive customer information (like access tokens) with AES-192 bit or higher.

Backup encryption

Backups are encrypted with a randomly generated key per file. These keys are in turn encrypted with RSA key-encryption key-pair and stored in the header section of each backup segment. The file encryption is performed with AES-256 in CTR mode with HMAC-SHA256 for integrity protection. The RSA key pair is randomly generated for each service. The key lengths are 256-bit for block encryption, 512-bit for integrity protection, and 3072-bits for the RSA key.
