Algorithms for Maintaining Authorization Base

  • Conference paper

  • 52 Accesses

Abstract

We present algorithms for access rights control in multiuser, object-oriented databases. These algorithms follow the model of authorization introduced in F. Rabitti et al., A model of authorization for next-generation databases, ACM Transaction on Database Systems 16:88-131, 1991. We show how the three basic operations: Access Control, Grant, and Revoke can be efficiently implemented using methods for manipulating partially ordered sets. Several techniques for maintenance of authorization bases are presented and the complexity of the algorithms is established.
