Abstract

Database federations give rise to particular security problems which are not present in classical database environments. The problems and solutions heavily depend on the federation's architecture and the degree of heterogeneity of participating component systems. In this paper we discuss a special aspect of security, namely access control for tightly coupled federations. We determine the typical problems to be solved and discuss several solutions providing for different degrees of local autonomy, especially authorisation autonomy. In particular, we describe the interaction between independent reference monitors. Further, we sketch powerful access control mechanisms to be applied at the global layer and show how they can be mapped onto less powerful mechanisms of component database management systems.
