Innovative database encryption at full performance for Cloud applications

Cloud Services like e.g. Google's AppEngine are growing more and more attractive for companies. The appeal mostly is based on their dynamically available and scalable infrastructure. The vast theme, mainly influencing the acceptance of Cloud Computing, is Security. Severe security concerns for business critical data transferred to the Cloud mainly refer to areas like integrity and privacy especially in Data Warehouse scenarios.

CORISECIO’s DB-Offline Encryption provides an effective solution for Cloud Security. All CORISECIO solutions are implemented based on the Open Source securityRunTime (secRT), an Eclipse Runtime Project.

Sensitive data leaving the company are always an inherent risk as they are out of the company’s physical, logical and personal control. If Cloud Services are used companies do not exactly know where their data is located in the Cloud. This may result in legal implications if e.g. personal data may not leave the country.

CORISECIO DB-Offline Encryption provides companies the option to encrypt and pseudonymize data using the on-the-fly- method without noteworthy performance implications. Simultaneously, the encrypted data is replaced with replacement values of the same data type. The keys and so the real data never leave the company. Cloud Services like DWHs may work on basis of the transferred data. Only after return of the results to the company, they are decrypted again.
