Overview of this book

Mastering MongoDB 7.0 explores the latest version of MongoDB, an exceptional NoSQL database solution that aligns with the needs of modern web applications. This book starts with an informative overview of MongoDB’s architecture and developer tools, guiding you through the process of connecting to databases seamlessly. This MongoDB book explores advanced queries in detail, including aggregation pipelines and multi-document ACID transactions. It delves into the capabilities of the MongoDB Atlas developer data platform and the latest features, such as Atlas Vector Search, and their role in AI applications, enabling developers to build applications with the scalability and performance that today’s organizations need. It also covers the creation of resilient search functionality using MongoDB Atlas Search. Mastering MongoDB 7.0’s deep coverage of advanced techniques encompasses everything from role-based access control (RBAC) to user management, auditing practices, and encryption across data, network, and storage layers. By the end of this book, you’ll have developed the skills necessary to create efficient, secure, and high-performing applications using MongoDB. You’ll have the confidence to undertake complex queries, integrate robust applications, and ensure data security to overcome modern data challenges.

Chapter 4: Connecting to MongoDB

Client-side encryption

While most modern database management systems offer robust security mechanisms to protect data at rest and in-transit, few have managed to address the need to protect data at the granular level of the field within a record. This is the gap that MongoDB seeks to fill with Client-Side Field Level Encryption (CSFLE).

CSFLE represents a sophisticated approach to security, allowing applications to encrypt specific document fields in a collection before sending that data to MongoDB. With this technique, the encryption and decryption processes take place exclusively on the client side, ensuring that the database server never has access to clear text data. Sensitive data is not only stored securely, but also handled and processed with the highest degree of protection. Thus, even in a hypothetical scenario of a total database compromise, even though an attacker could obtain encrypted data from sensitive fields, they would not have the keys or the necessary context...
