Program

As the demand for data management increases, so does the need for maintaining security of databases, applications, and information systems. The advent of the Web increased the likelihood of unauthorized access and malicious corruption, bringing to the forefront the necessity for effective mechanisms that secure critical information.


Database and Applications Security: Integrating Information Security and Data Management reviews recent developments in security, with a special emphasis on the protection of databases. The author pays particular attention to securing emerging applications such as e-commerce, sensor information processing, and knowledge management.


The book begins by providing essential background in database security, followed by descriptions of discretionary access control, multilevel secure databases, and models, functions, prototypes, and products of multilevel secure relational systems. It then discusses facets of the inference problem and addresses secure distributed databases. Following an analysis of secure object systems, the book focuses on security aspects of data warehousing and data mining. It also covers threats to privacy due to data mining, and concludes with an exploration of emerging technologies.
