This paper provides directions for web and e-commerce applications security. In particular, access control policies, workflow security, XML security and federated database security issues pertaining to the web and ecommerce applications are discussed.

Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) applications require a different database functionality than applications in more traditional areas. Due to the growing importance of CIM, advanced database systems and data models have been developed to meet the CIM specific requirements. However, none of these approaches considers to include the security control in CIM databases. In this paper we identi...

Security is becoming one of the most urgent challenges in database research and industry, and the challenge is intensifying due to the enormous popularity of e-business. In this paper we study database security from a cryptographic point of view. We show how to integrate modern cryptography technology into a relational database management system to solve some major security problems. Our study ...

This paper provides directions f o r web and ecommerce applications security. In particular, access contra1 policies, workflow security, X M L security arid federated database security issues pertaining to the web and e-commerce applications are discussed.

O rganizations are storing large amounts of data in databases for data mining and other types of analysis. Some of this data is considered confidential and has to be protected from disclosure. When access to individual values of confidential numerical data in the database is prevented, disclosure may occur when a snooper uses linear models to predict individual values of confidential attributes...

A statistical database (SDB) is a database that contains a large number of individual sensitive records, but is intended to supply only statistical summary information to its users. A SDB suffers from the inference problem, a way to infer or derive sensitive data from non-sensitive data. In this study, two security techniques of SDBs, Query-Set Size and FixedData Perturbation are selected to re...

Database auditing has become a very crucial aspect of security as organisations increase their adoption of database management systems (DBMS) as major asset that keeps, maintain and monitor sensitive information. Database auditing is the group of activities involved in observing a set of stored data in order to be aware of the actions of users. The work presented here outlines the main auditing...

Extracting of knowledge form large amount of data is an important issue in data mining systems. One of most important activities in data mining is association rule mining and the new head for data mining research area is privacy of mining. Today association rule mining has been a hot research topic in Data Mining and security area. A lot of research has done in this area but most of them focuse...

In cyberspace security of private data is a prominent issue. Beside the reliable algorithm for automatic authentication, providing the security of the server database is considerable. In this paper a technique to secure the database of an iris-based biometric system is proposed. We employed visual cryptography, permutation and a block-based saving procedure to protect the template from maliciou...

The pervasive nature of computing paradigm has made Database Management Systems (DBMS) a predominate technology for business and enterprise applications. With the explosion of information in the computing world and the extensive use of information services, the role of database systems is continuously growing. These rapid technological advances require companies to adopt Database Management Sys...
