Creating Encrypted Arrays

In order to create an encrypted array, you simply need to pass your secret key upon the array creation:

C

#include <tiledb/tiledb.h>

// Create config with encryption key
const char key[] = "0123456789abcdeF0123456789abcdeF";
tiledb_config_t* config;
tiledb_config_alloc(&config, &error);
tiledb_config_set(config, "sm.encryption_type", "AES_256_GCM", &error);
tiledb_config_set(config, "sm.encryption_key", key, &error);

// Create context
tiledb_ctx_t* ctx;
tiledb_ctx_alloc(config, &ctx);

// ... create array schema

// Create the array 
tiledb_array_create(
      ctx,
      "<array_uri>",
      schema);

C++

#include <tiledb/tiledb>
using namespace tiledb;

// ... create array schema

const char encryption_key[] = "0123456789abcdeF0123456789abcdeF"

// Create the array 
Array::create(
      array_name,
      "<array_uri>",
      TILEDB_AES_256_GCM,
      encryption_key,
      (uint32_t)strlen(encryption_key));

Python

import tiledb
import numpy as np

# ... create array schema

key = "0123456789abcdeF0123456789abcdeF"

# Create a dense array with a key
tiledb.DenseArray.create("<array_uri>", schema, key=key)

# Create a sparse array with a key
tiledb.SparseArray.create("<array_uri>", schema, key=key)

R

# shortcut: borrow schema from dense array
# could create new schema here too
sch <- schema(tiledb_dense(uridense))

# create encrypted array
tiledb:::libtiledb_array_create_with_key(uriec, sch@ptr, encryption_key)

Java

// ... create array schema

String key = "0123456789abcdeF0123456789abcdeF";

// Create the array
Array.create("my_array", 
             schema,
             TILEDB_AES_256_GCM,
             key.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));

Go

// ... create context ctx
// ... create schema

var encryption_key = "0123456789abcdeF0123456789abcdeF"

// Create the array
array, err := tiledb.NewArray(ctx, "<array_uri>")
array.CreateWithKey(schema, tiledb.TILEDB_AES_256_GCM, encryption_key)
