TDE provides the ability to encrypt an entire database and to have the encryption be completely transparent to the
applications that access the database. TDE encrypts the data stored in both the database’s data file (.mdf) and log file (.ldf)
using either Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) or Triple DES (3DES) encryption. In addition, any backups of the database are
encrypted. This protects the data while it’s at rest as well as provides protection against losing sensitive information if the
backup media were lost or stolen.
