Step-by-Step Guide to Creating an AWS RDS Database Instance

-
Image
 Amazon Relational Database Service (AWS RDS) makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. Instead of managing servers, patching OS, and handling backups manually, AWS RDS takes care of the heavy lifting so you can focus on building applications and data pipelines. In this blog, we’ll walk through how to create an AWS RDS instance , key configuration choices, and best practices you should follow in real-world projects. What is AWS RDS? AWS RDS is a managed database service that supports popular relational engines such as: Amazon Aurora (MySQL / PostgreSQL compatible) MySQL PostgreSQL MariaDB Oracle SQL Server With RDS, AWS manages: Database provisioning Automated backups Software patching High availability (Multi-AZ) Monitoring and scaling Prerequisites Before creating an RDS instance, make sure you have: An active AWS account Proper IAM permissions (RDS, EC2, VPC) A basic understanding of: ...

8 Popular Encryption Methods Real Usage

-
The process of replacing original data with special-characters is called an Encryption. A highly secured server handles the encryption and Decryption. You need a private key to decrypt the data. Else, you cannot decrypt the data.

Private keys are two types. The sender uses one private key and the receiver uses one other private key.

I have given in this post about 8 encryption methods.

Different Encryption Methods

  1. Classic Cipher
  2. Random Key Generation
  3. RSA Token
  4. Hash Functions
  5. Mac value - Message Authentication code
  6. Key Hash
  7. TLS Protocol
  8. Authenticated Cipher

 1. Classic Cipher.

The best example is this kind of algorithm was used in world war -II communication machines.

2. Random Key Generations.

One kind of security. They use an algorithm that sends random numbers. People use that number as a password. 

3. RSA Token.

Every 30 seconds a token is generated. Mostly people use for financial applications. An extra identity mechanism along with user id and password.

4. Hash Functions.

It assigns a hash value for each input data value. So that the third person cannot map to original data. The hash value is either 256 or 512 bits.

5. MAC Value.

It is also called message authentication value. It takes 3 types of input. 

6. Key Hash.

Key hash is a little different than the Hash Function. In the case of the Hash function, the reverse calculation of 256 or 512 bits gives a clue to original data. So the possibility of hacking you can find in Hash functions.

So Key Hash came into the picture. The data first go through a MAC algorithm, where it creates a Tag called MAC tag. So in the Key Hash process, one additional data transmitted that is called MAC Tag.

One more mechanism is Pseudorandom Functions also called PRFs. Where it calculates random key.

7. TLS Protocol.

TLS is a transport layer security protocol(TLS). It works basically like an internet security layer. This works as a middle layer between the Server and Website.


8. Authenticated Cipher.

In this case, both encryptions, MAC tags help to check the authenticity of data or transactions.

Step-by-Step Guide to Reading Different Files in Python

-
Image
 In the world of data science, automation, and general programming, working with files is unavoidable. Whether you’re dealing with CSV reports, JSON APIs, Excel sheets, or text logs, Python provides rich and easy-to-use libraries for reading different file formats. In this guide, we’ll explore how to read different files in Python , with code examples and best practices. 1. Reading Text Files ( .txt ) Text files are the simplest form of files. Python’s built-in open() function handles them effortlessly. Example: # Open and read a text file with open ( "sample.txt" , "r" ) as file: content = file.read() print (content) Explanation: "r" mode means read . with open() automatically closes the file when done. Best Practice: Always use with to handle files to avoid memory leaks. 2. Reading CSV Files ( .csv ) CSV files are widely used for storing tabular data. Python has a built-in csv module and a powerful pandas library. Using cs...

SQL Query: 3 Methods for Calculating Cumulative SUM

-
Image
SQL provides various constructs for calculating cumulative sums, offering flexibility and efficiency in data analysis. In this article, we explore three distinct SQL queries that facilitate the computation of cumulative sums. Each query leverages different SQL constructs to achieve the desired outcome, catering to diverse analytical needs and preferences. Using Window Functions (e.g., PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle) SELECT id, value, SUM(value) OVER (ORDER BY id) AS cumulative_sum  FROM your_table; This query uses the SUM() window function with the OVER clause to calculate the cumulative sum of the value column ordered by the id column. Using Subqueries (e.g., MySQL, SQLite): SELECT t1.id, t1.value, SUM(t2.value) AS cumulative_sum FROM your_table t1 JOIN your_table t2 ON t1.id >= t2.id GROUP BY t1.id, t1.value ORDER BY t1.id; This query uses a self-join to calculate the cumulative sum. It joins the table with itself, matching rows where the id in the first table is greater than...
