Enforcing Distributed Database Security using Multi-Scope based Authentication and Enhanced Distributed Firewall
The data is the most valuable asset of any organization, it resides data in the database system that is used to store data of every running application. So the security of database is very important. One of the most widely used types of a database is Distributed Database which has the capabilities of both a relational database and distributed network architecture. Hence the security of database is of the prime concern and at the same time, it is very tough to ensure, because different types of attackers and hackers are trying everything to compromise the distributed database security. Various researches are done to preserve the distributed database security but some security problems are still unresolved. In this paper, we propose the use of Multi-scope based authentication and Enhanced Distributed firewall by which the integrity and security of distributed database can be achieved.
