Towards Secure XML Federations

چکیده
The integration of isolated XML repositories has drawn more and more interest recently. In this paper, we propose XML federations to provide global e-services while preserving the necessary autonomy and security of each individual repository. First we show a logical architecture of XML federations, which is adapted from the common architecture of traditional federated databases according to the unique requirements of XML federations. On the basis of the architecture, we address security issues of XML federations, especially the authentication and authorization of federation users. We point out several problems in applying existing access control schemes and give our solutions.

Cost Modeling and Estimation for OLAP-XML Federations
The ever-changing data requirements of today’s dynamic businesses are not handled well by current OnLine Analytical Processing (OLAP) systems. Physical integration of unexpected data into OLAP systems is a long and time-consuming process, making logical integration, or federation, the better choice in many cases. The increasing use of XML, e.g. in business-to-business (B2B) applications, sugges...
متن کاملRelevance Feedback in XML Retrieval
Highly heterogeneous XML data collections that do not have a global schema, as arising, for example, in federations of digital libraries or scientific data repositories, cannot be effectively queried with XQuery or XPath alone, but rather require a ranked retrieval approach. As known from ample work in the IR field, relevance feedback provided by the user that drives automatic query refinement ...
متن کاملResearch on the Model of Secure Transmission of SOAP Messages
SOAP as the basis application of Web Services, and, SOAP messages are closely related to the heterogeneous Web services. Secure transmission of SOAP messages play a vital role for the applicability of Web Services. The main challenges to the secure transmission of SOAP messages includes: confidentiality, authentication, integrity, both-party nonrepudiation, and single sign-on. We analyzed and t...
متن کاملAccess Control for Database Federations a Discussion of the State-of-the-art
This paper considers a particular aspect of interoperability: the secure operation of database federations. A database system joining a federation aims to sacrifice neither its security nor its functionality. Existing applications should remain unaffected by the federation's processing, confidentiality and integrity have to be preserved, etc. In this paper we focus on a particular aspect of sec...
متن کاملAn Authorization Framework for Sharing Data in Web Service Federations
In this paper we present our authorization framework that supports the dynamic set-up of Web service federations for sharing data within virtual federations. Building on previous work, where we showed how the access control of Web services can be consolidated with the access control of the underlying database systems, we focus on the delegation of trust across administrative boundaries, thus en...
