Abstract
SQL stands for Structured Query Language, which is designed for the storing, retrieval and
management of data in relational database. SQL includes database creation, deletion,
updation, insertion, execution, fetching rows and modifying rows, etc. SQL is an ANSI
(American National Standards Institute) standard.
Keywords: SQL, database, DDL (data definition language), DML (data manipulation
language)
WHAT IS SQL?
SQL is a database computer language for
storing, manipulating and retrieving data
stored in relational database. SQL can access
and manipulates databases. SQL is used in the
website to store the database. Oracle, MYSQL
and Microsoft access are the platforms are
used for the database.
History
Year Description
1970 Dr. Edgar F. "Ted" Code of IBM is known as the father
of relational databases. He described a relational model
for databases.
1974 Structured Query Language appeared.
1978 IBM worked to develop Codd's ideas and released a
product named System/R.
1986 IBM developed the first prototype of relational
database and standardized by ANSI. The first relational
database was released by Relational Software and its
later becoming Oracle.
1994 Development of MySQL by Michael Widenius and
David Axmark beginning in 1994.
1995 First internal release on 23 May 1995.
1998 Windows version was released on 8 January 1998 for
Windows 95 and NT.

2003 Version 4.01: beta from August 2003, Jyoti adopts
MySQL for database tracking.
2004 Version 4.1: beta from June 2004, production release
October 2004.
2005 Version 5.0: beta from March 2005, production release
October 2005.
2008 Sun Microsystems acquired MySQL AB on 26
February 2008.
2008 Version 5.1: production release 27 November 2008.
SQL PROCESS
When we execute the SQL command the system
carries the request and SQL engine interprets the
task. There are various components that are
included in the SQL process. These components
are Query Dispatcher, Optimization Engines,
Classic Query Engine and SQL Query Engine,
etc [1, 2] (Figure 1).
Fig. 1: A Simple Diagram Showing SQL
Architecture.
SQL COMMANDS
The SQL commands are used to interact with
relational databases by CREATE, SELECT,
INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE and DROP
commands. These commands can be classified
into groups based on their nature.

Authentication Scheme using Matrix
Vishal Chahar, Vishal Bharti, Amar Saraswat, Chain Singh
Department of Computer Science, Dronacharya College of Engineering Gurgaon, Haryana, India
Abstract
These days, textual passwords are mostly used for authentication. But, these are not much
secure because of the problems like brute force attacks, eves dropping, shoulder surfing and
guessing. So, there are another authentication schemes to remove these problems, based on
session passwords for authentication, and are called color and image authentication schemes.
Matrix authentication scheme is based on the session password but with the help of matrix
pattern. User makes a unique pattern using cells of the matrix and can use it to enter the
password in different ways.
Keywords: Shoulder surfing, eves dropping, dictionary attacks, guessing, matrix
authentication, brute force attacks
INTRODUCTION
The first step in information security is
authentication. The users have to memorize
their password and remember at login time.
These days, textual passwords are the most
traditional schemes but these are vulnerable to
dictionary attacks, shoulder surfing.
Graphical passwords overcome the problems
of textual passwords, but they are also
vulnerable to shoulder surfing attacks. The
more number of sites we have, the more
passwords we need to remember. To solve and
overcome these problems, a new technique
called session password is introduced, which is
the combination of text and images.
Authentication scheme using matrix is based
on the session passwords, but it is slightly
different from textual and graphical
passwords. At the time of authentication to
any account, we have an image displayed on
the screen, which carries the matrices view,
and every cell in that matrix view carries a
value. The matrix cell behaves like a button; it
takes the value on clicking. The users give a
pattern (for every individual letter) to the
matrix, which can be remembered. The user
assigns the same value to every button of the
pattern so that if, at the next time of
authentication, he/she clicks on a single
button, which is part of the pattern, computer
can recognize the whole pattern on its own.
The second person does not get to know the
pattern.
The same procedure is followed for every
other letter i.e., every letter of the password
has its own individual pattern. A single cell
can be used for two or more values being part
of different patterns but it recognizes the
pattern according to the position of letter in the
password.
It is an eye-catching interface to the user,
totally based on the new content. Matrix
authentication is easy to remember for the user
because it is based on the graphical view and
is much more secure for the security point of
view. It can be used as file/folder locker in
PDA’s.
LITERATURE SURVEY
Passfaces [1]
This scheme carries a grid with nine faces and
the users have to select an image (given in the
grid). Any four images (same or different) of
human faces are chosen by the users, as
password.
At the time of verification, the grid with nine
faces is provided to the users, and users have
to identify the faces and click on them, to
authenticate as genuine user. But this scheme
was very easy to guess and attack (Figure 1).

Efficient and Responsive Query Processing
Raju Dara, Kiran Kumar Chennugani*
Department of Computer Science Engineering, Krishna Murthy Institute of Technology and
Engineering, Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad, Telangana, India
Abstract
Location based services (LBS) play a vital role in the real world. It is true in the world now as
there are technology innovations and the need for providing services to public. In case of LBS
applications, the users are supposed to provide their location information, which is sensitive
for many reasons. In addition to this with respect to transport LBS, there might be number of
queries. Providing accurate results is essential. In this paper, we explore the LBS with
accuracy of query results. We implement a novel approach, which makes use of route APIs
that can leverage responsiveness and efficient query processing. We built a prototype
application to demonstrate the proof of concept. Our empirical results were showing better
performance.
Keywords: Data mining, query processing, LBS, spatial data
INTRODUCTION
Location based services (LBS) play a vital role
in the real world. It is true in the world now as
there are technology innovations and the need
for providing services to public. Location
based services became popular in the real
world. One such network is road network
where location based services are very useful.
There should be different approach at different
times. There are times when responsiveness is
important. It is possible when there is
information on location-based services
accurately besides having accurate assessment
of traffic. The current traffic information and
its analysis was the main research in the
Google Maps [1]. As caching can help in
improving performance of data mining
operations, caching of shortest paths is studied
[2] besides using online API. In this paper, we
proposed a method for improving performance
and responsiveness in location based services
using route APIs.
In this paper, we focused on using route APIs
and also the history information for traffic
patterns besides the live traffic details in order
to have better approach in making decisions.
The proposed approach can take advantage of
current traffic trends and also history so as to
make optimal decisions.
RELATED WORKS
Location based services became popular in the
real world. One such network is road network
where location based services are very useful.
The research on indexing of road networks is
made in the various studies [3–7].
Their research focused on finding shortest
parts in order to have better support and
improve responsiveness in the location based
road service. The range queries with KNN are
explored [6] to reflect points of interest. As
there are shortest paths saved and indexed, it
became easier to obtain service paths and
provide better services to customers.
In this scenario, the problem is to have life
traffic information as well so as to ensure that
the chosen path can give optimum results.
Towards this end some works was explored [8,
9] that focused on time-varying functions with
historical traffic pattern analysis. Data mining
approaches can help in finding patterns from
historical data.
There should be different approach at different
times. There are times when responsiveness is
important. It is possible when there is
information on location-based services
accurately besides having accurate assessment

A Shareable Secure and Privacy Preserving Auditing
Scheme for Cloud Storage Security
Raju Dara1,

Computer Science Engineering, Krishna Murthy Institute of Technology and Engineering, Jawaharlal
Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad, Telangana, India
Abstract
Cloud data security has been a concern as the cloud is considered untrusted environment.
People across the globe can have cloud storage services in pay per use fashion. In this
environment, enterprises store their valuable data in cloud. However, due to security concerns
most of the cloud data owners are concerned about the integrity of data that has been
outsourced. Many schemes came into existence in order to have integrity of data. Some
schemes focused on cryptographic primitives while other schemes focused on provable data
possession schemes. In this paper, we proposed and implemented a shareable secure and
privacy preserving auditing scheme for cloud storage security. It makes use of mechanisms to
recover data if data is corrupted or subjected to illegal tampering. We built a prototype
application that shows the proof of concept. The empirical results suggest that the proposed
approach is able to protect outsourced data to cloud.
Keywords: Cloud computing, auditing, data integrity, privacy preservation
INTRODUCTION
Cloud computing became an established
technology and people of all walks of life are
using cloud in one way or other. The cloud
computing technology has different services
that cater to the needs of platforms,
infrastructure and software. The cloud
computing services are widely used in pay per
use fashion. In this paper, the focus is on
integrity of outsourced data to cloud.
Organizations are using cloud services in order
to have efficient data storage and retrieval. In
the process, there are many security issues. In
this paper, we implemented a mechanism that
ensures data integrity besides recovery of data
when data is damaged for any reason. Our
contributions in this paper include proposal of
a scheme for data integrity verification,
building a prototype application to
demonstrate the proof of concept and
evaluation.
RELATED WORKS
Checking data integrity of the data, which is
stored remotely, was explored [1, 2].
Afterwards provable data possession (PDP)
approaches came into existence [3, 4] for
ensuring data integrity. The PDP mechanisms
were later enhanced by the work done in [5]
using a scheme based on MAC that supports
block level verifications. At the same time, a
formal framework for PDP was proposed [6]
for better support of data dynamics and
security with RSA based trees. Later on
further improvement of PDP was made [7] by
using Merkle hash tree. In the study [3], public
auditing was presented so as to release burden
of verification on the online users. It was very
useful as the auditing is performed for all users
rather than specific user with privacy
guarantee.
A blind technique was focused [8, 9] to
address the problem of previous schemes
using BLS signature that is associated with
auditing schemes. Another method was
proposed for privacy preserves and efficient
data integrity in cloud computing [10]. It is
simple and avoids computational overhead
besides using secure communications. A
public PDP scheme was presented which
combines cryptography and bilinear property
[11]. Random mask concept is utilized for
error-correcting data besides preserving
privacy [12]. Interactive PDP scheme was
proposed [13] with zero-knowledge IPDP in

Data Security using Cloud Computing Adaption
Framework
Safeeda*, Savitha C.K., Prajna M.R., Ujwal U.J.
Department of Computer Science, K.V.G. College of Engineering, Sullia, Karnataka, India
Abstract
It is important to provide real-time data security for huge amount of data in cloud computing.
A recent survey on cloud security stated that security of users’ data has the highest priority as
well as concern. This can be able to achieve with an approach, which is systematic, adoptable
and well structured. Therefore, here a framework called as Cloud Computing Adoption
Framework (CCAF) has been developed which has been customized for securing cloud data.
This paper presents the overview, components in the CCAF, which enables data security.
CCAF is designed to provide multi-layered security. Since the Data Centre has 10 petabytes
of data, there is a huge challenge to provide real-time protection and quarantine. In order to
simulate how data in use, here we make use of Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN).
The use of BPMN simulation will allow evaluating the chosen security performances before
actual implementation. Results show that the time taken for controlling security breach is
between 50 and 125 hours. This means that additional security is required to ensure that all
data are well protected in the crucial 125 hours. This paper has also demonstrated that CCAF
multi-layered security is able to protect data in real-time and it has three layers of security:
(1) firewall and access control; (2) identity management and intrusion prevention and (3)
convergent encryption. To validate CCAF, this paper has considered ethical-hacking
experiments involved with penetration testing with 10,000 Trojans and viruses. The CCAF
multi-layered security is going to block 9,919 viruses and Trojans, which can be destroyed in
seconds, and it quarantines or isolates the remaining viruses and Trojans. Although there is a
decrease in percentage of blocking for continuous injection of viruses and Trojans, 97.43
percent of them can be quarantined can be shown by the experiment. Our CCAF multi-layered
security gives an average of 20 percent better performance compared to the single-layered
approach, which could only block 7,438 viruses and Trojans. When CCAF is combined with
BPMN simulation it can be more effective in order to evaluate security process and
penetrating testing results.

INTRODUCTION
Cloud computing and its adoption has been a
topic of discussion in the past few years. It has
been adopted by many organizations due to
benefits in cost savings, improvement in work
efficiencies, business agility and quality of
services [1, 2]. Due to the rapid rise in cloud
computing, software as a service (SaaS) is
particularly in demand, since it offers services,
which suit users’ need. For example, health
informatics can help medical researchers to
diagnose challenging diseases and cancers [3].
Financial analytics can ensure accurate and
fast simulations to be available for investors
[4]. Education as a service improves the
quality of education and delivery [5]. Mobile
applications allow users to play online games
and easy-to-use applications to interact with
their peers. Since cloud services are used by
many people and organizations security and
privacy become important to ensure that all the
data they use and share are well protected.
Some researchers suggest that security should
be implemented before the use of any cloud
services in place [6–8]. This is challenging
task for organizations since security should be
enforced and implemented in parallel with any
services. Although organizations, which adopt
cloud computing acknowledge benefits offered
by cloud services, security and privacy
remains as a challenge for organizational
adoption. In order to provide security, the
software engineering and development process
should always design, implement and test
