Fine-grained access control in object-oriented databases

Abstract

Regardless of all the inherent features, Object-Oriented Databases (OODBs) are unable to come up with provable security. The emergence of diversified computing paradigms like Grid & Cloud Computing and Online Social Interaction Platforms has significantly driven the need of OODB technologies with reliable security features. This paper serves to improve the authorization issues within OODBs, by providing an annotation based Fine-Grained Access Control solution. The approach involves realization of Fine-Grained Access Control (FGAC) model for providing granular level access control in Object Oriented Databases. © 2014 Springer-Verlag.
