NEW OWASP PROJECTS
OWASP Scytale Project - Project Leader: Maxime Labelle - Scytale is a database encryption proxy for modern DBMS and applications. It supports multi-recipient, group encryption, and comes loaded with a strong RSA/AES crypto-system. Scytale sits between your application and your favorite DBMS, adding automatic transparent encryption and decryption for your application's data at the table-level. Scytale stores the encrypted data inside your preferred DBMS for storage.
