In this discussion the encryption of KeyCloak’s database was defined:  
[Secure Credentials Store Discussion · Issue #10 · keycloak/keycloak-community (github.com)](https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak-community/issues/10)  
but I can only find the possibility to use a KeyVault to save secrets:  
[keycloak-documentation/vault.adoc at master · keycloak/keycloak-documentation (github.com)](https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak-documentation/blob/master/server_admin/topics/vault.adoc)  
I’m I wrong here or is client-side encryption not implemented at the keycloak db? Thank you for your help!
