Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for distributed caching of encrypted encryption keys are described. Some multi-tenant database systems may support encryption of data records. To efficiently handle multiple encryption keys across multiple application servers, the database system may store the encryption keys in a distributed cache accessible by each of the application servers. To securely cache the encryption keys, the database system may encrypt (e.g., wrap) each data encryption key (DEK) using a second encryption key (e.g., a key encryption key (KEK)). The database system may store the DEKs and KEKs in separate caches to further protect the encryption keys. For example, while the encrypted DEKs may be stored in the distributed cache, the KEKs may be stored locally on application servers. The database system may further support “bring your own key” (BYOK) functionality, where a user may upload a tenant secret or tenant-specific encryption key to the database.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for automated feature selection and model generation are described. A device (e.g., a server, user device, database, etc.) may perform model generation for an underlying dataset and a specified outcome variable. The device may determine relevance measurements (e.g., stump R-squared values) for a set of identified features of the dataset and can reduce the set of features based on these relevance measurements (e.g., according to a double-box procedure). Using this reduced set of features, the device may perform a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression procedure to sort the features. The device may then determine a set of nested linear models—where each successive model of the set includes an additional feature of the sorted features—and may select a “best” linear model for model generation based on this set of models and a model quality criterion (e.g., an Akaike information criterion (AIC)).

Abstract: Some database systems may implement encryption services to improve the security of data stored in databases or on disks. The systems may implement encryption using multiple encryption keys. For example, a worker server may implement a system call interceptor, such as a filesystem in userspace (Fuse) driver. The system call interceptor may intercept system calls (e.g., associated with query or extract, transform, and load (ETL) jobs) as they enter or exit the kernel. The system call interceptor may determine whether data sets associated with the jobs are marked for encryption, and may perform an encryption process on the data sets. A worker may encrypt and store data sets on a worker disk or at a file store, or may retrieve and decrypt the data sets. The system may additionally manage encryption keys, and may provide mechanisms for archiving or revoking encryption keys while maintaining user access to stored data sets.
