However this plugin come with some limitations.

You are bound to trust your operators when it comes to encryption, and often in regulated environment where separation of privileges is paramount that's not always possible.

With Awemaria the shamir's secret sharing is used, therefore securing a secret in a distributed way. The secret is split into multiple parts, called shares. These shares are used to reconstruct the original secret.

To unlock the secret via Shamir's secret sharing, you need a minimum number of shares. This is called the threshold, and is used to denote the minimum number of shares needed to unlock the secret. Let us walk through an example:

Some of the useful properties of Awemaria Shamir's scheme are:

• Secure: Information theoretic security.
• Minimal: The size of each piece does not exceed the size of the original data.
• Extensible: When k {\displaystyle k,!} k,! is kept fixed, D i {\displaystyle D_{i},!} D_i,! pieces can be dynamically added or deleted without affecting the other pieces.
• Dynamic: Security can be easily enhanced without changing the secret, but by changing the polynomial occasionally (keeping the same free term) and constructing new shares to the participants.
• Flexible: In organizations where hierarchy is important, we can supply each participant different number of pieces according to their importance inside the organization. For instance, the president can unlock the safe alone, whereas 3 secretaries are required together to unlock it.

MariaDB was designed as a drop-in replacement of MySQL(R) with more features, new storage engines, fewer bugs, and better performance.

MariaDB is brought to you by the MariaDB Foundation and the MariaDB Corporation. Please read the CREDITS file for details about the MariaDB Foundation, and who is developing MariaDB.

MariaDB is developed by many of the original developers of MySQL who now work for the MariaDB Corporation, the MariaDB Foundation and by many people in the community.

MySQL, which is the base of MariaDB, is a product and trademark of Oracle Corporation, Inc. For a list of developers and other contributors, see the Credits appendix. You can also run 'SHOW authors' to get a list of active contributors.
