ABSTRACT

Although many researchers focused on investigating the challenges of database normalization, and suggested recommendations on easing these challenges, this process remained an area of concern to database designers, developers, and learners. This paper investigated these challenges and involved Higher Education in Computer Science students learning database normalization, as they could well represent beginning database designers/developers, who would struggle in effectively normalize their database design due to the complexity of this theoretical process, which has no similar real-life representation. The paper focused on the advantages of interactive visualization techniques to simplify database normalization, and recommended virtual world technologies, such as ‘Second Life’, as an effective platform to achieve this visualization via a simulated model of a relational database system. The simulation technique presented in this paper is novel, and is supported by extensive evidence on its advantages to achieve an illustration of the ‘Normal Forms’ and the need for them.

  HYBRID ENCRYPTION ALGORITHMS FOR MEDICAL DATA STORAGE SECURITY IN CLOUD DATABASE Fenghua Zhang1，Yaming Chen2，Weiming Meng3 and Qingtao Wu4 1Computer Technology, Henan University of Science and Technology, Luo Yang, China 2,3Computer Science and Technology, Henan University of Science and Technology, Luo Yang, China 4Professor, Henan University of Science and Technology, Luo Yang, China ABSTRACT Cloud database are derivatives of Cloud computing. At present, most medical institutions store data in cloud database. Although the cloud database improves the efficiency of use, it also poses a huge impact and challenge to the secure storage of data. The article proposes a hybrid algorithm to solve the data security problem in the hospital cloud database. First, the AES algorithm is improved. The improved algorithm is called P-AES algorithm. The P-AES algorithm is then combined with the RSA algorithm, called a hybrid algorithm. The experimental results show that the hybrid enc...
