Combination of Data Masking and Data Encryption for Cloud Database
Pramote Kuacharoen · Applied Mechanics and Materials · 2014
Database as a service in cloud computing enables the user to create, store, modify, and retrieve data over the Internet. The user does not have to install and maintain the database himself. Instead, the database service provider takes responsibility for installing and maintaining the database. Storing data in a cloud database introduces security risks in data confidentiality, data integrity, and privacy. This research aims to design a method for storing data in a cloud database that provides data confidentiality and privacy and allows querying data. The comparison operations and aggregate functions can be performed on the cloud server. The research employs a combination of data masking and data encryption to achieve the objectives.
