Row/Column Level Security On OAC

Column Level Security

Vast Edge configured Column level security in OAC specifies sensitive columns names, restricts users from accessing sensitive columns data and prevents malicious users from discovering a column. Direct encryption of data methodology used by Vast Edge granularly encrypts specific columns or parts of the column. Column level security leverages binary columns to store encrypted data and different encryption keys for different columns.


1. Vast Edge deployed Column level security in OAC enables enterprises to encrypt the data in the database and limit user access to data.

2. Our security experts limit access to data preventing stealth of files, wallet and DB.

3. Column level security simplifies the design and coding of security in your application restricting user access to columns containing sensitive data.

4. These restriction enhances security while ensuring a reliable and robust security system.

5. It eliminates the need for introducing views to filter out columns for imposing access restrictions on the users.

6. Dynamic Data Masking feature in column-level security uses masking policies to selectively mask plain-text data in table and view columns in real-time.

7. ternal Tokenization mechanism enables accounts to tokenize data before loading it into the database and detokenize the data at query runtime.

Row Level Security

Vast Edge offers row-level security in OAC to enable enterprises to use group membership or execution context to control access to rows in a database table and helps implement restrictions on data row access. It also allows developers to control user access rights to information on a row, leveraging a high-level set of permissions. Oracle enforces RLS to prevent data information within dashboards, tiles, reports and from unassigned users.


1. Row-Level security defines the security policy to restrict access to objects based on specific entitlements and filters out the user access using a predicate clause.


2. Oracle encryption security leverages table access control without implementing custom stored procedures for insert, update, and delete SQL statements.


3. The cumbersome process configured by Vast Edge, greatly simplifies the design and coding of security leveraging codes and design changes.


4. By enforcing RLS, Vast Edge enables different users to work with different subsets of data assigning a parameter that pulls data from datasets.


5. Vast Edge's deployed RLS enables enterprises to provide access to other applications and users only to a certain portion of a table.


6. The access restriction logic is located on the database tier that leverages access restrictions every time data access is attempted from any tier.


7. Oracle OAC deploys a security predicate that invokes and enforce security policy and restricts access to row data in a table.

Methods Of Specifying Row Level Security

Vast Edge leverage OAC protocols to provide different methods that specify row-level security for enterprises. This include:

INDIVIDUAL-BASED METHOD
Enables enterprises to specify row-level security using the Set ID and dimension key fields.
CONSTRAINT-BASED METHOD
Enables enterprises to specify row-level security by associating a constraint with a dimension table.
TREE-BASED METHOD
Enables enterprises to specify row-level security using existing tree hierarchies that are defined for a dimension.
