In the not too distant future, all data, whether it is data at rest or in transit on a network, sensitive or not, will be encrypted. However, the performance overhead associated with encryption and decryption is one of the few remaining roadblocks to enterprise-wide adoption of this technology. Fortunately, new approaches such as on-chip acceleration are making the ubiquitous use of encryption feasible. Let's review the factors associated with encryption of data accessed and processed by application, file and database servers to see how close are we are to achieving zero performance overhead for full-time data
