Database Encryption Implementation and Analysis Using Graphics Processing Unit

Abstract

Recently, the requirement of database encryption has increased. But many companies are not willing to adopt the use of encryption in their existing DBs due to the degradation in performance. In this paper, we proposed and implemented a high speed database encryption model using Graphics Processing Units(GPU) that can perform parallel data processing. As a result, there was a performance improvement of about 40% to 60% compared to the CPU case. We expect our paper can be used to increase the encryption performance of database.
