Designing a secure data retrieval strategy using NoSQL database

Abstract

Data collection from distributed cloud storage through SaaS application requires efficient execution of the overall process. This type of cloud computing mechanism can be furnished through shared resources, improved service levels and minimal management effort. Data retrieval from cloud storage by different users through shared resources environment may blend data from different data requests in a single place. Here lies the need of efficient data retrieval strategy among different users that will help in secure data retrieval. When sensitive information is transmitted over the Internet there is high chance of information leakage. So, to prevent security attack like interference attack during query execution becomes a big challenge. This work explores a novel data retrieval strategy in extremely robust and linearly scalable high performance NoSQL database like Cassandra and presents a brief security analysis while retrieving stored data in shared environment.
