Processing queries on encrypted document-based database

Abstract

Big  data is a set of technologies and strategies for storing and analyzing large volumes of data in order to learn from it and make predictions. Since non-relational databases such as document-based have been applied in various contexts, the privacy protection must be taken into account by strengthening security to prevent the exposure of user data. In this paper, we focus mainly on secret sharing scheme that supports secure query with data interoperability to design a practical model for document-based databases, especially MongoDB. This approach, being based on secure query processing by defining elementary and suitable operators, allows us to perform operational computations and aggregations on encrypted data in the non-relational document database MongoDB. The obtained results, in the present work, could find places in various fields where data privacy and security are primordial such as healthcare, cloud computing, financial services, artificial intelligence and machine learning, in which user data remains secure and confidential during processing.
