SQL injection prevention using hyperledger fabric

Abstract

Web applications used nowadays are heavily dependent on huge amounts of data. SQL databases contain these data. However, these applications face major security breaches due to the vulnerability present in the databases. Owing to that, the web server applications become vulnerable to SQL and NoSQL Injection attacks. To secure its privacy, Hyperledger fabric can be used. Our proposed model will use a distributed ledger mechanism which is permissioned as well as an open source enterprise-class platform called Hyperledger Fabric. It is designed for using in different settings, which convey some key differentiating proficiencies over other blockchain platfrom. It provides a decentralized structure to the database and the data it saves cannot be easily changed. It provides privacy to the data, as it works with distributed databases and secure channels where transactions can be kept confidential from the broad network. In this research, we propose a framework, which works on safeguarding web applications by utilizing hyperledger fabric against coded injection technique types such as SQL and NoSQL injection attacks.
