# Databunker
Databunker is an open-source, Go-based tool for secure personal data tokenization and storage. It can be deployed using Docker Compose or a Kubernetes Helm chart and is designed to help developers protect sensitive data such as PII, PHI, and KYC with minimal effort.
### 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 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
