Yes, transformation-free data encryption can support distributed storage. This type of encryption allows data to remain in its original format while being encrypted, which is particularly useful in distributed systems where data consistency and compatibility across nodes are critical.
For example, in a distributed database system, transformation-free encryption ensures that encrypted data can be directly stored and retrieved without requiring format conversion, simplifying the architecture and improving performance.
In the context of cloud services, Tencent Cloud offers Key Management Service (KMS) and Cloud HSM (Hardware Security Module) to support secure key management for such encryption scenarios. These services can be integrated with distributed storage solutions like Tencent Cloud Object Storage (COS) to ensure data remains encrypted while being distributed across multiple nodes.
