Existing tire types in our project

Secure Socket Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS): SSL/TLS protocols are widely used for securing communication between clients and servers. They encrypt data transmitted over the network, ensuring its confidentiality and integrity.

Public Key Infrastructure (PKI): PKI is a framework that utilizes asymmetric cryptography for secure communication. It involves the use of public and private key pairs to encrypt and decrypt data, verify identities, and establish secure connections.

Hashing Algorithms: Hash functions like SHA-256 or SHA-3 are employed to generate fixed-size, unique hash values from input data. Hashing is commonly used for data integrity checks and password storage, ensuring that data remains unaltered and passwords are securely stored.

Symmetric Encryption: Symmetric encryption algorithms like AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) are used to encrypt and decrypt data using the same secret key. Symmetric encryption is often used to secure data at rest or during transit.

Asymmetric Encryption: Asymmetric encryption, also known as public-key encryption, involves using different keys for encryption and decryption. Algorithms like RSA or Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) are commonly used for key exchange and digital signatures.

The GALLUX project, which focuses on secure and decentralized applications, places a high priority on protecting the sensitive data stored in its databases. Transparent Data Encryption (TDE).

The GALLUX project implements TDE technology to improve database security. TDE works on the principle of data encryption at the storage level, providing a reliable level of protection against unauthorized access or information leakage. Encryption occurs in real time as data is written to disk, ensuring that data remains encrypted both at rest and in transit.

TDE employs symmetric key encryption, where a master key is used to encrypt the database's data encryption key. This master key is securely stored separately from the database, adding an additional layer of security. Access to the master key is tightly controlled and requires appropriate authentication and authorization.

With TDE, the encryption and decryption of data are performed transparently, without requiring any changes to the application code. This means that applications utilizing the GALLUX project's databases can function seamlessly without needing to manage the encryption and decryption process explicitly.

By implementing TDE in the GALLUX project's databases, the sensitive user data stored within the system is protected from unauthorized access, even if the underlying storage media is compromised. This encryption method helps safeguard user privacy, maintain data integrity, and comply with stringent security standards and regulations.

It is important to note that the specific database encryption methods used by a GALLUX project may vary depending on its unique requirements and security considerations. For detailed and accurate information about specific database encryption methods within the project, it is recommended that you contact the GALLUX project team directly.
