Definition

Conceptual design of secure databases encompasses the creation of a platform-independent data model that incorporates security requirements and constraints. Following the requirements analysis, conceptual design is the basis for further steps in database design that subsequently transform the database conceptualization into a platform-dependent model and an implementation.

Background

The conceptual design produces a platform-independent model of a universe of discourse and is an important step in any database design methodology. As security concerns are essential for many database applications, it is important to incorporate security requirements early in the design process of a database. Extensions to established data modeling techniques have been proposed to add security semantics.

Applications

Conceptual database design is part of the database design process, which consists of the activities requirements gathering and analysis, conceptual...
