The relational data model was first developed in 1970 by Dr. E. F. Codd. This relational model is the foundation for relational
database management systems which are the current de facto standard for storing corporate information. In 1985, Dr. Codd
published the 12 rules that provide the guideline for these relational systems. Unfortunately, at the time there was little concern
for the security of the data in these systems. In the early days, gaining access to a database was so difficult that the need for
security features such as encryption on the data was irrelevant. Because of the environment, there is little built into these rules
to allow for the encryption of the data. |

The digital age is upon us. No longer is instant access to information a request – it is now a requirement.
Serving as a backbone for instant access is the relational database management system. Databases serve
as the warehouses of digital information and hold our most critical assets. As such, to properly maintain
the integrity and confidentiality of this data, the need for securing databases is growing. One of the
requirements for securing databases is to encrypt the information stored within them.
Unfortunately, there are many misconceptions surrounding what database encryption is and how it should
be performed. Encryption is a complex subject and properly implementing it requires a grasp of not only
the theories behind encryption, but also the practical applications in the real world. All too often, the line
between access control and encryption is blurred, and encryption solutions simply supplement the access
controls already in place. What we hope to outline in this paper is an appropriate use of encryption as
well as its proper implementation. |
