To protect your personal data, the mechanism of Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) is used. It means that data is stored in an encrypted form in a special container. Vault is an encrypted container created by the user with the Data encryption component.
Vaults are encrypted with the 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) block cipher with the effective key length of 56 bit.
