Abstract

Applications require fine-grained access control (FGAC) supported by DBMSs themselves. Though much literature has referred to the FGAC, its key problems still remain open. Thus, we develop a FGAC-QD model based on query decomposition strategy with incorporating two notions of authorization rule and predicate transitive rule. In our model, users’ queries are decomposed into a set of one-variable queries (OVQ). For each OVQ, its validity is checked against the corresponding authorization rule; if all the OVQs are valid, the query is inferred to be valid and will be executed without any modification; otherwise the query has illegal access, and will be partially evaluated or rejected directly, according to the feature of applications. Finally, the results of experiments demonstrate the feasibility of FGAC-QD.
