Privacy Enhancing Technologies

Why would you recommend that GFC use record-level encryption rather than disk, file, or table encryption?

  • A Record encryption is asymmetric, a stronger control measure.
  • B Record encryption is granular, limiting the damage of potential breaches.
  • C Record encryption involves tag masking, so its metadata cannot be decrypted
  • D Record encryption allows for encryption of personal data only.
Explanation

Record-level encryption is granular: it can protect individual records and thereby limit the amount of data exposed by a breach. Disk-, file-, and table-level encryption apply protection to a broader unit. Transparent Data Encryption, for example, encrypts database data and log files rather than individual records.
