Hi Everyone..
I've been doing a little bit of work on the intersection of crypto and
databases. MySQL is my favorite database, of course, but I've always been a
user rather than a developer. My current project involves authenticating a
user to mysqld using a smart card. I did a google search and about the only
thing I could find were references to using a PHP encryption module to
encrypt data that was then inserted into a table. So, I have a brief RFI...
Anyone ever looked at any of the following?
Interfacing MySQL with "standard" crypto libraries: BSAFE, BDANGEROUS,
CRYPTIX, CRYPTLIB, CRYPTO++, or even PAM?
Using smart cards or other cryptographic tokens to authenticate end
users to the database?
Using crypto coprocessors with key management features to authenticate
remote applications.
Using any crypto library or hardware to add non-repudiation and/or
confidentiality of log file entries.
Using any crypto library or hardware to encrypt data in a database.
I'm going to be working on this for the next couple of months. Some of
this work may evolve into work for hire, but the things I discover outside
of the work for hire I'll probably post to my web site at
http://www.cryptonomicon.net/users/mhamrick/ .
I'm sending this message simply to see if anyone else has worked on
this. If so, what got done? What didn't get done?
-Sincerely,
