Abstract
To prevent unauthorized access to the databases and to ensure that the data of the databases is protected from intruders and insiders, the data is being encrypted at the storage locations. The same goal is achieved with Transparent Data Encryption, a feature that can be found in almost all database products. However, it has been observed that the non-datafiles are being ignored and there is no standard encryption for them like there is for datafiles. Moreover, there was no standard algorithm to encrypt them without relying on third-party tools. Therefore,•This study provides a robust algorithm to perform the encryption. This presentation also describes the importance of non-datafiles encryption, and how some non-datafiles can pose a threat to data and infrastructure without encryption.•The practical implementation of the non-data file encryption algorithm shows the authentic results. Further, unlike existing algorithms, the proposed algorithm gives the file owner full control over the encryption logic.•In the encryption process, two levels of encryption logics are combined with a passcode lock, while the same combination of two levels of reversing encryption and passcode is used in the decryption process to convert encoded data back into text format.
