Distributed Databases Questions
Data security in a distributed database refers to the measures and techniques implemented to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data stored and accessed across multiple nodes or locations within the distributed database system. It involves ensuring that only authorized users have access to the data, preventing unauthorized modifications or deletions, and safeguarding against data breaches or unauthorized access. Data security in a distributed database typically includes encryption, access control mechanisms, authentication protocols, backup and recovery strategies, and monitoring and auditing mechanisms to detect and respond to security threats.
