Secure Distributed Databases Using Cryptography

The computational encryption is used intensively by different databases management systems for ensuring privacy and integrity of information that are physically stored in files. Also, the information is sent over network and is replicated on different distributed systems. It is proved that a satisfying level of security is achieved if the rows and columns of tables are encrypted independently of table or computer that sustains the data. Also, it is very important that the SQL - Structured Query Language query requests and responses to be encrypted over the network connection between the client and databases server. All this techniques and methods must be implemented by the databases administrators, designer and developers in a consistent security policy.
