Abstract
The popularity of cloud based databases has increased over the last years. Due to this popularity of external storage of data in cloud services, the issues of data security and user privacy are also receiving increased attention. To provide data confidentiality in cloud databases, this thesis investigates client side database encryption. This allows encrypting the data before sending it to the cloud database, thus preventing cloud providers from accessing any unencrypted data. Moreover this thesis investigates how this encryption scheme limits the database’s query functionality and attempts to alleviate some of those limitations. This results in an example implementation of an encryption client for the Amazon DyanamoDB which supports the majority of the database’s functionality.
