Flexible and cost-effective cryptographic encryption algorithm for securing unencrypted database files at rest and in transit.

ABSTRACT: To prevent unauthorized access to the databases and to ensure that the data of the databases is protected from intruders and insiders, the data is being encrypted at the storage locations. The same goal is achieved with Transparent Data Encryption, a feature that can be found in almost all database products. However, it has been observed that the non-datafiles are being ignored and there is no standard encryption for them like there is for datafiles. Moreover, there was no standard algorithm to encrypt them without relying on third-party tools. Therefore,•This study provides a robust algorithm to perform the encryption. This presentation also describes the importance of non-datafiles encryption, and how some non-datafiles can pose a threat to data and infrastructure without encryption.•The
