Abstract
Securing sensitive data stored in database environments is a critical challenge faced by organizations across various industries. Inadequate database security can lead to devastating data breaches, compromising the privacy and confidentiality of crucial information. This research focuses on the importance of robust database security measures and the role of the Gid Crypto tool in addressing these concerns. Gid Crypto, a stand-alone application, efficiently encrypts and decrypts data using private, public, and shared keys. The previous version stored encryption keys and contact names directly in the MongoDB database, posing a security risk if attackers managed to hack the password. This research introduces a new mechanism leveraging One Time Pad (OTP)-based encryption to enhance security. By implementing OTP, the tool ensures that contact lists, private keys, and secret keys are encoded before storage, making the data incomprehensible without the appropriate decryption keys, even if unauthorized access occurs. The enhanced Gid Crypto application maintains data integrity, confidentiality, and authenticity, effectively protecting sensitive information in databases. Comprehensive testing confirmed the tool's robustness, accuracy, and efficiency, establishing it as a practical and cost-effective option for database security.
