  • Publication number: 20230246844
    Abstract: Techniques for managing data stored within a database, such as a decentralized database are provided. Some techniques involve managing some data within a lower-trust database and some other data within a higher-trust database. A higher-trust database may be a decentralize database including a blockchain. A lower-trust database may store references to data within the blockchain, and optionally other data in association with those references. Disclosed techniques include WHERE clause query handling in databases with reference values, replacement of distinct data in a relational database with a distinct reference to that data, number line storing for secure indexing, APIs for databases, and consensus operations for private blockchain networks.

  • Publication number: 20220407861
    Abstract: Provided are processes to increase security of database systems, in some cases with transparent retrofits. Examples may include the calling of external functions responsive to a data access event, such as detected by a database driver, upon connection attempt to, request attempt to, or retrieval of data from a database arrangement of a storage environment. The database driver, in response to detecting an event, may perform a call to an API, like a RESTful API, of a component or system that effectuates logic for determining instructions provided back to the database driver for responding to the event.
