  • Abstract:
  • The success of the cloud database paradigm is strictly related to strong guarantees in terms of service availability, scalability and security, but also of data confidentiality. Any cloud provider assures the security and availability of its platform, while the implementation of scalable solutions to guarantee confidentiality of the information stored in cloud databases is an open problem left to the tenant. Existing solutions address some preliminary issues through SQL operations on encrypted data. We propose the first complete architecture that combines data encryption, key management, authentication and authorization solutions, and that addresses the issues related to typical threat scenarios for cloud database services. Formal models describe the proposed solutions for enforcing access control and for guaranteeing confidentiality of data and metadata. Experimental evaluations based on standard benchmark sand real Internet scenarios show that the proposed architecture satisfies also scalability and performance requirements.
