A new database encryption model based on encryption classes

Abstract

Data encryption is one of the advanced measures used to consolidate data security inside Databases. It is an essential technique to protect data against theft, disclosure or modification from different typologies of attacks. In this work, we will propose a new database encryption model. It is based on a novel concept called "Encryption Classes". The proposed model is full compared to the existing models; it integrates many security mechanisms starting from the keys generation and their protection until the data encryption. Furthermore, our proposed model performed a new feature which is the Database structure encryption.
