Database Normalization

The database design has been normalized to minimize data redundancy and improve data

integrity:

1. First Normal Form (1NF): Each table cell contains a single value.

2. Second Normal Form (2NF): Each non-key attribute in a table depends on the entire primary

key.

3. Third Normal Form (3NF): If a table is in 2NF, and a non-key attribute depends on another

non-key attribute, then it should be moved to a separate table.

Database Security

The database design incorporates security measures to protect sensitive data:

1. Password Hashing: Passwords are stored as hashed values to prevent unauthorized access.

2. Access Control: Access to the database is restricted to authorized users and roles.
26 | P a g e
3. Data Encryption: Sensitive data, such as employee personal and financial information, is

encrypted to prevent unauthorized access.
