Database encryption Question

  • I feel really stupid asking this question but I cant find a clear answer, it seems to be assumed in all the material I have been reading.

    When implementing TDE encryption an instance, does each database require it's own certificate or do you use the same certificate and then enable on all databases?

  • the certificate is stored in the master database and can be used for all databases or you could have multiple server certs and use different ones to secure DEKs within specific databases
