Translucent Databases 2Nd Edition: Confusion, Misdirection, Randomness, Sharing, Authentication And Steganography To Defend Privacy
Peter Wayner
This is the second edition of the widely acclaimed book that redefined how to build databases that protect the user's information. Instead of trying to store sensitive data in a tightly guarded box, the book describes simpler, faster and more secure solutions that leave the user in control of personal information. The trick to building a translucent database is scrambling the personal information in a way that only the right person can recover it. The book describes how traditional and not-so-traditional techniques can create a database that can answer questions for the right person without holding any useful information that might be abused by an insider or an attacker who manages to slip inside the fold. The second edition includes updated versions of the original material and four new chapters that tackle problems like secure and anonymous voting. All of the chapters include detailed descriptions of the algorithms and many descriptions include working code.
