The scope of this series includes all aspects of computer and network security and related areas such as fault tolerance and software assurance. ADVANCES IN INFORMATION SECURITY aims to publish thorough and cohesive overviews of specific topics in information security, as well as works that are larger in scope or that contain more detailed background information than can be accommodated in shorter survey articles. The series also serves as a forum for topics that may not have reached a level of maturity to warrant a comprehensive textbook treatment. Researchers, as well as developers, are encouraged to contact Professor Sushil Jajodia with ideas for books under this series.

Ever since the early years of database management systems, a great deal of research activity has been conducted. Fruitful results have been produced, many of which are widely adopted in commercial and military database management systems. In recent years, the research scope of database security has been greatly expanded due to the rapid development of the global internetworked infrastructure. Databases are no longer stand-alone systems that are only accessible to internal users of or- ganizations. Instead, allowing selective access from different security domains has become a must for many business practices. Many of the assumptions and problems in traditional databases need to be revisited and readdressed in decentralized envi- ronments. Further, the Internet and the Web offer means for collecting and sharing data with unprecedented flexibility and convenience. New data services are emerg- ing every day, which also bring new challenges to protect of data security. We have witnessed many exciting research works toward identifying and addressing such new challenges. We feel it is necessary to summarize and systematically present works in these new areas to researchers. This book presents a collection of essays, covering a wide range of today's active areas closely related to database security organized as follows. In Part I, We review classical work in database security, and report their recent advances and necessary extensions. In Part 11, We shift our focus to security of the Extensible Markup Lan- guage (XML) and other new data models. The need for cross-domain resource and information sharing dramatically changes the approaches to access control. In Part 111, we present the active work in distributed trust management, including rule-based policies, trust negotiation and security in peer-to-peer systems. Privacy has increas- ingly become a big concern to Internet users, especially when information may be collected online through all kinds of channels. In Part IV, privacy protection efforts from the database community are presented. Topics include micro data release and k-anonymity. In Part V, we include two essays, which are about challenges in the database-as-a-service model and database watermarking. The audience of this book includes graduate students and researchers in secure data management, especially in the context of the Internet. This book serves as help- VIII Preface ful supplementary reading material for graduate-level information system security courses.

Implicit Information Flows In a lattice-based model, the goal is to regulate the flow of information among objects As a simple example of information flow, consider the program fragment given below: i f (A = 1) D := B else D := C ; Obviously, there is an explicit information flow from B and C into D since the information in B and C is transferred into D However, there is another implicit information... important aspect of information security Besides educating users about good security practices, a secure system should also be designed to be intuitive and user-friendly Though the importance of this principle is well recognized, realizing it in real systems is still a challenging problem References 1 Ross Aderson and Markus Kuhn Tampter Resistance - A Cautionary Note In Proceedings of the 2nd Workshop... and Languages in Open Environments S De Capitani di Vimercatil, S Foresti', S Jajodia2, and P Samarati' Universitit degli Studi di Milano {decapita, foresti, samarati}@dti.unimi.it Center of Secure Information Systems George Mason University jajodia@gmu.edu 1 Introduction Access control is the process of mediating every request to resources and data maintained by a system and determining whether the... memory and disk management Since these parts are shared by multiple users, the way they are managed must be inside the kernel Since trusted subjects are essential for performing certain legitimate tasks, they are implemented as extensions of the security kernel Clearly, trusted subjects must be carefully engineered since it is critical that they work properly 6 Conclusion In this chapter, we introduced... we introduced the basic concepts and terminologies in information system security To build a secure system requires careful integration of security 20 Sushi1 Jajodia and Ting Y u policies, mechanisms and assurance In particular, a system's security is always constrained by available resources, e g , funding and time It is often not practical to have the most stringent security requirements and adopt...
