  2. Connection string - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connection_string

    In computing, a connection string is a string that specifies information about a data source and the means of connecting to it. It is passed in code to an underlying driver or provider in order to initiate the connection. Whilst commonly used for a database connection, the data source could also be a spreadsheet or text file.

  3. Salt (cryptography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_(cryptography)

    Typically, a unique salt is randomly generated for each password. The salt and the password (or its version after key stretching) are concatenated and fed to a cryptographic hash function, and the output hash value is then stored with the salt in a database. The salt does not need to be encrypted, because knowing the salt would not help the ...

  4. Database encryption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_encryption

    Encryption can be employed to enhance the security of data stored in a database by converting the information into an unreadable format using an algorithm. The encrypted data can only be accessed and deciphered with a decryption key, ensuring that even if the database is compromised, the information remains confidential.

  5. Key derivation function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_derivation_function

    Example of a Key Derivation Function chain as used in the Signal Protocol.The output of one KDF function is the input to the next KDF function in the chain. In cryptography, a key derivation function (KDF) is a cryptographic algorithm that derives one or more secret keys from a secret value such as a master key, a password, or a passphrase using a pseudorandom function (which typically uses a ...

  6. Ciphertext indistinguishability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciphertext_indistinguish...

    Ciphertext indistinguishability is a property of many encryption schemes. Intuitively, if a cryptosystem possesses the property of indistinguishability, then an adversary will be unable to distinguish pairs of ciphertexts based on the message they encrypt.

    Predicates, which specify conditions that can be evaluated to SQL three-valued logic (3VL) (true/false/unknown) or Boolean truth values and are used to limit the effects of statements and queries, or to change program flow. Queries, which retrieve the data based on specific criteria. This is an important element of SQL.
