Design and Development of Integrity Checker for Data Security
Rijul Khanna, Himanshu Gupta · 2024
Data Integrity refers to the state of the data we store in our database. The data should be unchanged aside from corrections and updates for Data Integrity to remain and be present in the system. The Data Integrity Checker (DIC) I wish to design and develop should play a part in maintaining the integrity that should be present in all database systems. As for the development, mostly MySQL and PHP will be utilised. Firstly, there needs to be a database to maintain integrity in, so a database containing a multitude of made-up records will be used. Then, there should be an interface which allows for ‘Admins’ and ‘Users’ to login and then interact with the database through SQL queries and such, and then there should be another table which has records of all queries made, which user or admin it was made from and at which time it was done. Data Integrity is essential to maintain in any sort of database as the main functions of most if not all organizations that utilize data hinder on the authenticity and accuracy of the data they use, so, in a sense, maintaining Data Integrity is one of the top priorities of any data-driven system.
