Abstract

Data security is a growing concern and it seems timely to develop and incorporate database security courses into programs of study in the computing disciplines. This paper describes a recently developed course in database security and introduces a set of animations that might be incorporated to bring about more effective instruction and enhance student learning. Currently animations are being developed for referential integrity, integrity matrices, row level security, SQL injections and inference problems. Animations related to encryption, multilevel security and database auditing procedures will be added in the future. The database security animations will be included as a module in an ongoing animated database courseware project designed to provide supplementary instructional materials for the teaching of database topics. Animations can be incorporated directly into classroom instruction or used independently by students to reinforce what they have learned or to deepen their understanding.
