Databases - Too big to be secure?
I was interested in hearing on the radio, comments from someone at Cambridge University. Richard Clayton from lightbluetouchpaper claims that databases are too centralised. The impact of data leaks are very high as a consequence. He feels that databases have become too big (e.g. a government database has information of every site/location in one database) and making it secure is impossible. He feels the only solution is to have decentralised databases so that the impact of data leakage is reduced.
