Secure Database on Attendance Verification System by using Data Masking Technique

Abstract

Data Masking Technique is a system designed to secure sensitive data by replacing the front data but not the original data. For instance, the data masking techniques capable to hide any data from being viewed by any unauthorized users. However, fewer studies about data masking techniques in the attendance system are implemented. Previous studies have primarily concentrated on defining sensitive data exposure and the technique of securing sensitive data using data masking. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to integrate the use of the data masking technique towards the attendance verification system. Thus, it is sufficient to stop unauthorized users from accessing confidential data. This study also applied the iterative model as a software development methodology as well as integrated with the hashing concept. Therefore, the attendance verification system can be used to perform the functionalities of easily manage records. By using this technique, the attendance of a student was added with a security element. The result shows that data masking and hashing techniques ensure the confidentiality of student data from being viewed by unauthorized parties. The authorized person is the ability to see the masked of sensitive student data. The significance of this study is capable to implement the security element on the attendance system and verify the user before entering the system
