Access Control in Very Loosely Structured Data Model Using Relational Databases
This paper proposes a framework to efficiently support dynamic
fine-grained access control for the very loosely structured data model
named GLSDM(General very Loosely-Structured Data Model)
which is presented based on the current dataspace data models.In the framework
GLSDM is mapped into and stored in relational databases
and then the fine-grained access control in GLSDM is converted into the corresponding fine-grained security (e.g.
row-level and cell-level security) in relational databases.A query rewriting algorithm is also given to dynamically imbed GLSDM security information into SQL statements the user issues
thus
dynamic access control is realized during the period of query processing.Finally
the validity of the framework is proved by theory and experiment
that is
the GLSDM-to-relational mapping method and query rewriting algorithm in this paper can ensure the access control in GLSDM is equivalent to that in relational databases.
