 # Databunker **Databunker is a self-hosted, GDPR compliant, Go-based tool for secure personal records tokenization and storage - PII/PHI/KYC: https://databunker.org/**
## Databunker intro ### π£ The Big Problem with Traditional Database Encryption Traditional database encryption solutions often provide a false sense of security. While they may encrypt data at rest, they leave critical vulnerabilities: * **Encryption alone isnβt enough:** Most vendors offer only disk-block encryption, ignoring API-level encryption * **Vulnerable GraphQL Queries:** Unfiltered queries can expose unencrypted data to attackers * **SQL Injection Risks:** Attackers can retrieve plaintext data through SQL injections Databunker addresses these gaps with a secure, developer-focused solution for personal data tokenization and storage. ### π οΈ DataBunker Features - **Tokenization Engine**: Generates UUID tokens for safe data referencing in applications - **Encrypted Storage**: Secures sensitive records with advanced encryption layer - **Injection Protection**: Blocks SQL and GraphQL injection attacks by design - **Secure Indexing**: Uses hash-based indexing for search queries - **No Plaintext Storage**: Ensures all data is encrypted at rest - **Restricted Bulk Retrieval**: Disabled by default to prevent data leaks - **API-Based Access**: Integrates with your backend via a NoSQL-like API - **Fast Integration**: Set up secure data protection in under 10 minutes For **credit-card tokenization** or **enterprise security features** check out the Databunker Pro. ### β‘ Why Databunker? Databunker provides a robust, open-source vault that eliminates the false sense of security from traditional encryption methods, offering developers a practical way to protect sensitive data. ### π Deployment & Usage - **Self-Hosted**: Run on your cloud or on-premises infrastructure - **Open-Source**: Licensed under MIT for free commercial use - **GDPR Compliant**: Meets modern privacy regulation requirements - **High Performance**: Go-powered API ensures fast tokenization and data access ### π How It Works 1. Store sensitive data in Databunker via API calls 2. Receive UUID tokens to reference data securely in your application 3. Query data using secure, hash-based indexing 4. Benefit from built-in protections against injections and bulk data leaks ## π Quick Start (5 minutes) ```bash # Pull and run Databunker container docker pull securitybunker/databunker docker run -p 3000:3000 -d --rm --name dbunker securitybunker/databunker demo # Create user records curl -s http://localhost:3000/v1/user -X POST \ -H "X-Bunker-Token: DEMO" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"first":"John","last":"Doe","login":"john","email":"user@gmail.com"}' # Get user by login, email, phone, or token curl -s -H "X-Bunker-Token: DEMO" -X GET http://localhost:3000/v1/user/login/john # Admin UI: http://localhost:3000 ``` ## π‘ What Problems Does Databunker Solve? 1. **Prevents Data Breaches** - Eliminates SQL injection vulnerabilities - Protects against GraphQL data exposure - Segregates sensitive data from your main database 2. **Simplifies Compliance** - GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA ready out of the box - Built-in consent management - Automated data minimization - Full audit trail of all operations 3. **Reduces Development Time** - Simple REST API for all operations - SDK available for popular languages - Drop-in replacement for your user table - Built-in session management Project **demo** is available at: https://databunker.org/doc/demo/. Please add a **star** if you like our project. ## π Key Security Features - **Encrypted Storage**: All personal records are encrypted using AES-256 - **Secure API**: REST API with strong authentication - **Tokenization**: Replace sensitive data with tokens in your main database - **Access Control**: Fine-grained permissions and audit logging - **Data Segregation**: Physical separation from your application database ## π Integration Examples ```javascript // Node.js Example const { Databunker } = require('databunker-sdk'); const db = new Databunker({ url: 'http://localhost:3000', token: 'DEMO' }); // Store user record await db.users.create({ email: 'user@example.com', name: 'John Doe', phone: '+1-415-555-0123' }); // Retrieve user by email const user = await db.users.findByEmail('user@example.com'); ``` ## π Use Cases - **User Profile Storage**: Secure storage for user personal data - **Healthcare Records**: HIPAA-compliant patient data storage - **Financial Services**: PCI DSS compliant customer records - **Identity Management**: Secure user authentication and session storage - **GDPR Compliance**: Built-in tools for data privacy regulations ## π§ Technical Specifications - Written in Go for high performance - Supports MySQL and PostgreSQL - REST API with OpenAPI specification - Containerized deployment - Horizontal scaling support - Automated backups - High availability options ## π Resources 1.
