The method of data masking comprises the steps of reading a structuralized query language; when it is judged that the structuralized query language is in accordance with a preset masking rule, rewriting the structuralized query language according to the masking rule; executing the rewritten structuralized query language, and outputting a query result. According to the method and system of data masking, dynamic data masking can be achieved, a masked query result can be flexibly output, and the safety of the data can be guaranteed.

A system and method for dynamically masking data. The system and method receive and identify masked data in a data request, generate a request to receive the corresponding unmasked data, provide the request for unmasked data to a database, receive an unmasked response from the database, mask the response, and return the masked response. The system and method do not alter the database to mask the data it contains and maintain the confidentiality of the sensitive data. Additionally, the system and method receive updates for masked data, generate a corresponding update for unmasked data and apply the unmasked update to the database. The masked and unmasked data updated are held in a data map, and used to remask updated data in response to requests for masked data.

An approach is provided for de-personalizing data. A request is received from an application for retrieval of data. An end user associated with the request is authenticated. A determination is made whether to mask the data based on the request and the authentication. In response to the determination, a masking algorithm is selected to apply to the data and to output mask data.

A system and method for presenting on-demand masking of data as a software service in a distributed environment is provided. An application hosted on a computing device receives request for access to application data from a user. Credentials of the user are first validated in order to determine whether the user is authorized to access the requested application data. For an authorized user, a category of the user is determined to ascertain whether the user is privileged to obtain full access. In case the user is a privileged user, unmasked application data is fetched from a database utility and provided to the user. In case the user is not a privileged user, application data access request is transferred to a data masking service. Application data is fetched from database utility, masked based on pre-defined masking rules and provided to the user.

A method and system transfer read data from a memory device having a data bus and a data masking pin adapted to receive a masking signal during write operations of the memory device. The method includes placing a sequence of read data words on the data bus and applying a data bus inversion signal on the data masking pin, the data bus inversion signal indicating whether the data contained each read data word has been inverted. Another method and system transfer data over a data bus. The method includes generating a sequence of data words, at least one data word including data bus inversion data. The sequence of data words is applied on the data bus and is thereafter stored. The data bus inversion data is applied to invert or not invert the data contained in the stored data words.

According to one aspect a method for manufacturing a holographic storage medium includes providing one or more data masks with data to be recorded, illuminating the one or more data masks onto the medium with a plane wave object beam from a laser light source operating at a record wavelength, propagating a reference beam at an incident angle to the medium to record the one or more data masks on the medium, and altering the incident angle of the reference beam for each of the one or more data masks, wherein each of the one or more data masks recorded on said medium can be read bit by bit using a laser light source operating in a readout range of wavelengths different from the record wavelength.

A memory and a method of storing data in a memory are provided. The memory comprises a memory block comprising data bits and additional bits. The memory includes logic which, when receiving a first command, writes data into the data bits of the memory block, wherein the data is masked according to a first input. The logic, in response to a second command, writes data into the data bits of the memory block and writes a second input into the additional bits of the memory block.

The present invention provides a memory chip (100) which can be operated in a normal mode and in a test mode (TM) and which has a device (102) for outputting data from the memory chip (100) and a device (104) for enabling the device (102) for outputting data when the test mode (TM) has been activated. The device (104) for enabling the device (102) for outputting data has a device for masking data so that only particular portions of the data are output when a data masking state (DQM) has been activated.

The present invention discloses a mask S box, a packet key calculation unit, an apparatus and corresponding construction method. The mask S box comprises an input module, an address mapping processing module, and an output module. The input module receives and uses a random number and input data masked by the random number as two inputs of the mask S box. The address mapping processing module performs one-to-one mapping on the two inputs and corresponding storage addresses in a memory of the mask S box. The output module performs linear processing on the random number by using a linear equation so as to obtain and uses the random number after linear conversion as one output of the mask S box. The storage address is obtained after the random number undergone linear conversion masks the output of the original S box, and is used as another output of the mask S box. The mask S box is safe, and further, the mask S box is easy to implement, is low in power consumption and small in area, and is optimized and expanded to realize the anti-high order DPA encryption device.

According to one aspect and example, a method for recording holographic media and/or holographic master data masks includes recording at least a first hologram or information layer with a first holographic medium (e.g., a “submaster”) and recording at least a second information layer with a second holographic medium (e.g., a second “submaster”). The first information layer and the second information layer from the first and second holographic media are then sequentially reconstructed and stored with a single holographic master medium (e.g., a “master”). The holographic master may then be used to record the stored first and second information layers into additional holographic media, for example, into HROM devices or the like.
