Distributed Databases Questions
Data security in a distributed database refers to the measures and techniques implemented to protect the data stored in the database from unauthorized access, modification, or destruction. It involves ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the data, as well as implementing authentication and authorization mechanisms to control access to the database.
Transparency in a distributed database refers to the ability of users and applications to access and manipulate the data without being aware of the underlying distribution and fragmentation of the database. It aims to provide a unified and consistent view of the database to users, regardless of its distributed nature. Transparency ensures that users can interact with the database as if it were a single, centralized system, even though the data may be physically distributed across multiple locations.
