Mysql Database TDE Encryption through xampp?

Question

I have been trying to figure out how to transparent data encryption my Mysql Database for weeks. Time is running out. I need help.. I am using xampp and possibly going to turn to Postgres.

If TDE is not possible for xampp mysql, then is there a way to lock the database say if I were to connect through MySQL Workbench, it will show error or prompt for password?

MySQL does not suport TDE. You have to do encryption in your application.

So the only way is to use AES encryption? – OneNation Mar 14 '14 at 03:25
You can use whatever encryption you want. You only have to implement it yourself (e.g. encrypt data before writing to the db). – Mike Lischke Mar 14 '14 at 07:33
Oracle has added TDE support to MySQL Enterprise Edition... https://www.mysql.com/products/enterprise/tde.html – buzz3791 Nov 04 '16 at 16:33
