Data at Rest Security for Oracle Customers Goes Global with the Encryption Wizard

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 9, 2008 -- Relational Database Consultants, Inc (RDC) announced today that the Encryption Wizard, a leading security and encryption software offering for the Oracle RDBMS, now ships with Natural Language Support (NLS) for international character sets.

"Supporting multi-byte character sets makes the Encryption Wizard the first truly global security and encryption tool on the market," states Don Parret, RDC Marketing Director. "With the Encryption Wizard's Data at Rest interface to Oracle's NLS, securing natural language data is accomplished with a click of the mouse. Database customers can now leave the complexity of encrypting multi-byte characters to us."

Protecting natural language character sets from data theft has always been difficult since many languages are represented in their written form as ideograms, complex symbols that require multi-byte characters for storage. These multi-dimensional arrays are represented in the Oracle RDBMS as nchar and nvarchar2 data types.

"Clients in Europe, the Far East, and in Arabic countries now demand database encryption in this tough new security environment," Parret points out. "With many international corporations launching DAR security initiatives, we felt it was vital to crack the puzzle surrounding multi-byte character encryption."

The Encryption Wizard for Oracle is considered the fastest Oracle database encryption product on the market. It offers AES256, 128 and DES3 encryption, utilizing Oracle's FIPS 140-2 complaint cryptography packages. The secret to the software's ROI for customers is that it hides the complexity of database encryption with an easy to use GUI interface.

Oracle Applications built around the Encryption Wizard's DAR security blanket are able to access data through updateable decrypted views. These views enable authorized users to behold and modify encrypted rows in their original form. The Encryption Wizard employs bit-mapped function indexes to insure minimal speed degradation during these operations.
