Encryption in MySQL 8

When there is a need to transfer data over the network, it is a must to use encryption for the connection. If you are using unencrypted data, then someone who has access to the network can easily watch all of your traffic and can see what data is transferred between the client and server. To protect your data over the network, use encryption. Make sure the encryption algorithm used contains security elements to protect your connection from known attacks, like changing the order of a message or replay twice on data. Based on your application requirements, you can choose either an encrypted or unencrypted type connection. MySQL 8 performs encryption per connection using Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol.
