Evaluating the Performance of Reverse Encryption Algorithm (REA) on the Databases
Database encryption is a well established technolog y for protecting sensitive data. Unfortunately, the integration of existing encryption techniques with database system s causes undesirable performance degradation. It is a crucial technique in the security mechanisms of database. In this paper we propose a new encryption algorithm, which we cal l Reverse Encryption Algorithm (REA). Our new encryption algorithm REA i s simple and yet leads to a cipher. It has achieved security requirements and is fast enough for most applications. REA algor ithm is limiting the added time cost for encryption and decryption to don't degrade the performance of a database system. Also, we evaluate the performance of the proposed encryp tion algorithm REA and compare with the most common encryption algorit hms. The performance measure of encryption schemes will be conducted in terms of encryption / decryption time. Experimen t results show that our new algorithm outperforms o ther algorithms at encryption and decryption time.
