Re: Encryption and Access control

[Khalil Ahmed]

Hi Leo,

The answer is no, not right now. You can use file access privileges to control access on an embedded datastore, and similarly you could store the data on an encrypted volime. There aren't any plans at the moment to add encryption - it is something we could consider as a feature to add later but it would need to be researched to find an encryption scheme that is (a) compatible with the way we manage file pages as fixed size blocks of data and (b) suitable for use in an embedded store. If you have thoughts on this please share them!

Cheers

Hi. 

Do you know if BrightstarDB has any kind of encryption or access control, when it is used as an embedded datastore.

In negative case, do you know when it is expected to be available?

Thank you!

Thank you, Kal.

I am studying your software (BrighstarDB) and I think it is superb.

I hope to start using it in a draft semantic medical records.

Thank you again.
